Abstrakt: Pure diastereomeric spirocyclic analogs of fluorocortivazol were conveniently prepared by a short and efficient synthetic sequence recently developed in our laboratory. The structures and conformations of several key products were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Conformational assignments were also supported by DFT calculations. Biological evaluation led to the identification of a highly potent hGR agonist with excellent anti-inflammatory effects in the subnanomolar range. All tested compounds from this series were also selective versus the progesterone receptor.
