This invention provides a class of androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTA). The agents define a new subclass of compounds, which are selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM). Several of the SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected androgenic and anabolic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. Other SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected antiandrogenic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. The SARM compounds, either alone or as a composition, are useful for a) male contraception; b) treatment of a variety of hormone-related conditions, for example conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Aging Male (ADAM), such as fatigue, depression, decreased libido, sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, hypogonadism, osteoporosis, hair loss, anemia, obesity, sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, benign prostate hyperplasia, alterations in mood and cognition and prostate cancer; c) treatment of conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Female (ADIF), such as sexual dysfunction, decreased sexual libido, hypogonadism, sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, alterations in cognition and mood, depression, anemia, hair loss, obesity, endometriosis, breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer; d) treatment and/or prevention of acute and/or chronic muscular wasting conditions; e) preventing and/or treating dry eye conditions; f) oral androgen replacement therapy; and/or g) decreasing the incidence of, halting or causing a regression of prostate cancer.
A selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) compound having in-vivo androgenic and anabolic activity of a non-steroidal ligand for the androgen receptor, said compound represented by the structure of formula (I):
A composition comprising a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) compound having in-vivo androgenic and anabolic activity of a non-steroidal ligand for the androgen receptor, said compound represented by the structure of formula (I):
A pharmaceutical composition comprising:
A method of binding a selective androgen receptor modulator compound (SARM) to an androgen receptor, comprising the step of contacting the androgen receptor with a selective androgen receptor modulator compound having in-vivo androgenic and anabolic activity of a non-steroidal ligand forte androgen receptor, in an amount effective to bind the selective androgen receptor modulator compound to the androgen receptor, wherein said compound is represented by the structure of formula (I):
A method of hormone therapy comprising the step of contacting an androgen receptor of a subject with a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) compound having in-vivo androgenic and anabolic activity of a non-steroidal ligand for the androgenreceptor, in an amount effective bind the selective androgen receptor modulator compound to the androgen receptor and effect a change in an androgen-dependent condition, wherein said compound is represented by the structure of formula (I):
A method of treating a subject having a related hormone condition, comprising the step of contacting an androgen receptor of the subject with a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) compound having in-vivo androgenic and anabolic activity of a non-steroidal ligand for the androgen receptor, in an amount effective bind the selective androgen receptor modulator compound to the androgen receptor and effect a change in an androgen-dependent condition, wherein said compound is represented by the structure of formula (I):
