The androgen receptor (AR) plays important roles in multiple physiological functions, including differentiation, growth, and maintenance of male reproductive organs, and also has effects on hair and skin. In this paper, we report the synthesis of nonsteroidal AR antagonists having a 4-benzyl-1-(2H)-phthalazinone skeleton. Among the synthesized compounds, 11c with two ortho-substituents on the phenyl group potently inhibited SC-3 cell proliferation (IC50: 0.18 μM) and showed high wt AR-binding affinity (IC50: 10.9 μM), comparable to that of hydroxyflutamide (3). Compound 11c also inhibited proliferation of LNCaP cells containing T877A-mutated AR. Docking study of 11c with the AR ligand-binding domain indicated that the benzyl group is important for the antagonism. These phthalazinone derivatives may be useful for investigating potential clinical applications of AR antagonists.

A series of 2-substituted indan-1,3-dione derivatives, including alkyl (C-1-C-5), mono- and disubstituted phenyl, and other 2-aryl derivatives, were tested for hypolipidemic activity of CF1 male mice at 20 mg/kg per day.These derivatives reduced both serum cholesterol and triglycerides after 16 days of administration intraperitoneally. 2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)indan-1,3-dione was one of the more active compounds with 41percent reduction of serum cholesterol and 58percent reduction of serum triglyceride levels on day 16.This activity was confirmed in the rat after oral administration. 2-(2-Methylphenyl)- and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)indan-1,3-dione were effective in reducing serum triglyceride levels 58percent and 53percent, respectively, in mice.Serum cholesterol on day 16 was effectively reduced 46percent by 2-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)indan-1,3-dione.The indan-1,3-dione derivatives were more effective than clofibrate in lowering lipid levels in mice.A more detailed study on the effects of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)indan-1,3-dione demonstrated that key enzymes in the de novo synthesis of lipids were inhibited by the drug lowering tissue levels of lipids but raising those in the feces.The alterations in lipid content of rat lipoprotein fractions by the drug appeared favorable.
