Abstract

Structure-activity relationship studies centered around 3'-substituted (Z)-5-(2'-(thienylmethylidene))1,2-dihydro-9-hydroxy-10-methoxy-2,2,4-trimethyl-5H-chromeno[3,4-f]quinolines are described. A series of highly potent and efficacious selective Glucocorticoid Receptor modulators were identified with in vitro activity comparable to dexamethasone. In vivo evaluation of these compounds utilizing a 28 day mouse tumor xenograft model demonstrated efficacy equal to dexamethasone in the reduction of tumor volume.
