Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for modulating processes mediated by AR and PR. More particularly, the invention relates to nonsteroidal compounds and compositions that are high affinity, high specificity agonists, partial agonists (i.e., partial activators and/or tissue-specific activators) and antagonists for AR and PR. Also provided are methods of making such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions, as well as critical intermediates used in their synthesis.
Abstract:
Non-steroidal compounds which are high affinity, high specificity ligands for progesterone receptors are disclosed. The compounds include synthetic derivatives of cyclocymopol and its diastereomers, spectroscopically and chromatographically pure (3R)-cyclocymopol monomethyl ether, which functions as a progesterone receptor antagonist, and spectroscopically and chromatographically pure (3S)-cyclocymopol monomethyl ether, which functions as a progesterone receptor agonist. Also disclosed are methods for employing the disclosed compounds for modulating processes mediated by progesterone receptors and for treating patients requiring progesterone receptor agonist or antagonist therapy.
Abstract:
Non-steroidal compounds which are high affinity, high selectivity modulators for steroid receptors are disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions incorporating such compounds, methods for employing the disclosed compounds and compositions for treating patients requiring steroid receptor agonist or antagonist therapy, intermediates useful in the preparation of the compounds and processes for the preparation of the steroid receptor modulator compounds.
Abstract:
A human peroxisome proliferation activated receptor gene is purified from the environment in which it naturally occurs, and preferably provided within an expression vector.
Abstract:
Methods to screen for antagonists of steroid IR transcription as mediated by the PR-A isoform of the progesterone receptor are provided. Such cell-based methods include a cell in which PR-A is transcriptionally inactive containing asteroid IR other than PR, PR-A and a reporter vector that includes a promoter which is transcriptionally active in the presence of the steroid IR and an activator of said steroid IR, but is substantially transcriptionally inactive in the presence of PR-A. This cell is contacted with the activator of the steroid IR and a compound to be assayed, and the level of reporter product produced in the cell is measured and compared to the level of reporter product expressed in a similar cellular system absent PR-A as an indication of the potential antagonist activity of the compound being assayed. Also provided are an assay kit, a method of screening PR active compounds as ER antagonists and compounds that inhibit the transcriptional activity of asteroid IR in the presence of PR-A in a cellular context where PR-A is substantially transcriptionally inactive.
