A lead discovery library and a follow-up focused library of α-acylaminoketones were designed based on known dibenzoylhydrazine ecdysone agonists, including GS ™ –E. The compounds were assayed in mammalian cells expressing the ecdysone receptor from Bombyx mori for their ability to cause expression of a reporter gene downstream of an ecdysone response element. The most potent α-acylaminoketones were comparable to GS ™ –E in this assay. |
