Discovery of an androgen receptor modulator pharmacophore based on 2-quinolinones

Abstract

A series of alkylamino-2-quinolinone compounds (3) was discovered as androgen receptor modulators based on an early linear tricyclic quinoline pharmacophore (1). The series demonstrated selective high binding affinity to androgen receptor and potent receptor modulating activities in the cotransfection assays.

      Functionalization of the related carbostyril skeleton is also a fertile source of biologically important molecules that exert a plethora of bio- and pharmacological activities. These include enzyme inhibitors [7] and receptor antagonists [8], as well as antithrombotic [9], antiviral (against hepatitis B [10] and HIV [11]), antihelmintic [12], antioxidant [13], antiproliferative [14], anti-tumor [15], and cytotoxic against human tumor cell lines [16] agents. However, relatively few 1H-quinolin-2-one derivatives have been reported as antibacterials [17]; among them, the 4-substituted analogs rationally designed by the group of Jayashree, based on docking experiments with bacterial DNA gyrase [18].

      The carbostyril (2-quinolone) skeleton is a fertile source of biologically important molecules possessing a wide spectrum of biological and pharmacological activities, such as antimicrobial (Jayashree et al., 2009; Creaven et al., 2010), antiproliferative (Chen et al., 2007), antithrombotic (Buchanan et al., 1989), anti-hepatitis B (Cheng et al., 2008), anti-HIV (Zhang et al., 2003), anti-tumor (Joseph et al., 2002), antioxidative activity (Chung and Woo, 2001) and cytotoxicity against human tumor cell lines (He et al., 2005). Several carbostyril derivatives are also nitric oxide production inhibitors (Ito et al., 2004), 5-HT1B/5-HT2A receptor antagonists (McCort et al., 2001), Rho-kinase inhibitors (Letellier et al., 2008), androgen receptors (Oeveren et al., 2007), p38αMAP kinase inhibitors (Peifer et al., 2008) and induce mitochondrial dysfunction (Chilin et al., 2005). Therefore, the synthesis of 2-quinolone derivatives has kindled a strong interest in us.
