A series of chiral analogues of bicalutamide bearing electrophilic groups (isothiocyanate, N-chloroacetyl, and N-bromoacetyl) on aromatic ring B of the parent molecule were synthesized. These compounds were designed as affinity ligands for the androgen receptor (AR). We prepared the (R)- and (S)-optical isomers of these compounds as pure enantiomers. The AR binding affinities of these compounds were measured in a competitive binding assay with the radiolabeled high-affinity AR ligand, [3H]mibolerone. In accordance with our previous results for the enantiomers of bicalutamide, we found that all (R)-isomers demonstrated much higher binding affinity to the AR as compared to their corresponding (S)-isomers. The para-substituted affinity ligands in ring B bound the AR with higher affinities than the corresponding metasubstituted analogues. Oxidation of thioester affinity ligands to their sulfonyl analogues for the para-substituted compounds decreased AR binding affinities and similar modification increased binding affinities for corresponding meta-analogues. The least potent para-substituted sulfonyl compounds had higher AR binding affinities than the most potent meta- substituted sulfonyl compounds. Overall, the para-substituted unoxidized molecules demonstrated the highest AR binding affinity. Subsequent research using AR exchange assays and Scatchard analyses showed that the isothiocyanate affinity ligands (R)-7, (R)-9, and (R)-10 reported herein are the first specific chemoaffinity ligands for the AR.
