Abstract:
This invention provides a progesterone receptor antagonist of formula 1 having the structure wherein R , and R are each, independently, hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, substituted alkoxy, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, and alkynyl. R and R may be taken together to form a ring and together contain âCH (CH ) CH â, âCH CH CMe CH CH â, âO(CH ) CH â, O(CH ) Oâ, âCH CH OCH CH â, âCH CH NR CH CH â. R and R may be taken together to form a double bond, the double bond having two methyl groups bonded to the terminal end, having a cycloalkyl group bonded to the terminal end, having an oxygen bonded to the terminal end, or having a cycloether bonded to the terminal end; or a double bond. R is hydrogen, hydroxyl, NH , alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted or, COR. R is hydrogen, halogen, âCN, âNH , alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxy, aminoalkyl, or substituted aminoalkyl; R is a trisubstituted phenyl ring having the structure, or is a five or six membered heteroaryl ring, containing 1, 2, or 3 heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, S, SO, SO and NR , or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
