Prostate cancer (PC) is the most diagnosed type of malignancy in men and the major frequently cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The androgen receptor (AR) has become a promising drug target for the treatment of PC. Here, we reported the design, optimization and evaluation of pyridine tetrahydroisoquinoline thiohydantoin derivatives with improved activity and safety as potent AR antagonists. The most promising compound 42f exhibited potent inhibitory activity on AR and strongly blocked AR nuclear translocation. Moreover, 42f displayed promising in vitro antitumor activity toward AR-dependent prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP) and also demonstrated therapeutic effects in LNCaP xenograft tumor model in mice (TGI: 79%) with no apparent toxicity observed in vivo. More importantly, 42f showed negligible penetration of the brain-blood barrier (BBB) compared with enzalutamide. These results provide a foundation for the development of a new class of androgen receptor antagonists for potential therapeutics against PC with lower seizurogenic risk for patients.

Reaction of N-benzoyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-2-carboxylic acid with acetic anhydride resulted in 1H,3H,5H-oxazolo[3,4-a]quinolin-3-one derivative 13. Different cyclopropanation processes were applied to 13, but only diazomethane in the presence of water furnished the hitherto unknown methyl 1,2,7,7a-tetrahydro-1aH-cyclopropa[b]quinoline-1a-carboxylate 14, which can be considered as a doubly constrained 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid system. The mechanism of the cyclopropanation was studied in detail. The new ACC ester 14 was transformed into fused tetracyclic hydantoin derivatives, which comprised a new type of heterocyclic system.
