Abstract
Novel 5-aryl indanones, inden-1-one oximes, and inden-1-ols were synthesized and evaluated as progesterone receptor (PR) modulators using the T47D cell alkaline phosphatase assay. Both PR agonists and antagonists were achieved with appropriate 3- and 5-substitution from indanones and inden-1-ols while inden-1-one oximes provided only PR antagonists. Several compounds such as 10 and 11 demonstrated potent in vitro PR agonist potency similar to that of steroidal progesterone ( 1). In addition, a number of compounds (e.g., 12, 13, 17, 18) showed potent PR antagonist activity indicating the indanones and derivatives are promising PR modulator templates.
