The invention describes compounds of the general formula I or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3 and X are herein described, a process for their manufacture, medicaments containing them as well as the use of these compounds as pharmaceutically active agents. The compounds show activity as antiproliferative agents and may be especially useful for the treatment of cancer.

- (+)-(2R,5S)-4-[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2,5-dimethyl-N-[6- (trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl]piperazine-1-carboxamide (YM580) as an orally potent and peripherally selective nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonist
-
A novel series of trans-N-aryl-2,5-dimethylpiperazine-1-carboxamide derivatives was synthesized and their androgen receptor (AR) antagonist activities and in vivo antiandrogenic effects were evaluated. Pharmacological assays indicated that compound 33 was a potent AR antagonist, and subsequent optical resolution provided (+)-(2R,5S)4-[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2, 5-dimethyl-N-[6(triflouromethyl)pyridin-3-yl]piperazine-1-carboxamide (33a, YM580) which exhibited the most potent antiandrogenic activity. Unlike bicalutamide, compound 33a decreased the weight of rat ventral prostate in a dose-dependent manner (ED50 = 2.2 mg/kg/day), and induced the maximum antiandrogenic effect, comparable to that of surgical castration, without significantly affecting serum testosterone levels. Compound 33a is a promising clinical candidate for prostate cancer monotherapy.
