Abstract :
A virtual screening approach comprising a 3-D similarity search based on known GR modulators was used to identify a novel series of non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonists. Optimization of the initial hit to provide potent compounds which exhibit good selectivity against other steroidal nuclear hormone receptors is described.
