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.

The progesterone receptor (PR) controls various physiological processes, including the female reproductive system, and nonsteroidal PR ligands are considered to be drug candidates for treatment of various diseases without significant adverse effects. Here, we designed and synthesized m-carborane-based secondary alcohols and investigated their PR-ligand activity. All the synthesized alcohols exhibited PR-antagonistic activity at subnanomolar concentration. Among them, alcohols having a small alkyl side chain and a 4-cyanophenyl group also exhibited PR-agonistic activity in a relatively high concentration range. Optical resolution of secondary alcohols having a methyl side chain was performed, and the PR-ligand activity and PR-binding affinity of the purified enantiomers were examined. The chirality of the secondary alcohol appears to have a more significant influence on PR-agonistic activity than on antagonistic activity.
