We report here the development of phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives as novel nonsteroidal progesterone receptor (PR) antagonists. PR plays key roles in various physiological systems, including the female reproductive system, and PR antagonists are promising candidates for clinical treatment of multiple diseases. By using the phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine scaffold as a template structure, we designed and synthesized a series of 4-cyanophenylamino-1,3,5-triazine derivatives. The synthesized compounds exhibited PR antagonistic activity, and among them, compound 12n was the most potent (IC50 = 0.30 µM); it also showed significant binding affinity to the PR ligand-binding domain. Docking simulation supported the design rationale of the compounds. Our results suggest that the phenylamino-1,3,5-triazine scaffold is a versatile template for development of nonsteroidal PR antagonists and that the developed compounds are promising lead compounds for further structural development of nonsteroidal PR antagonists.
