Non-steroidal 1-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonitrile containing tetrahydronaphthalenes and acyclic derivatives were evaluated as novel series of progesterone receptor (PR) antagonists using the T47D cell alkaline phosphatase assay. Moderate to potent PR antagonists were achieved with these scaffolds. Several compounds (e.g., 15 and 20) demonstrated low nanomolar PR antagonist potency and good selectivity versus other steroid receptors.
