Novel nonsteroidal C(17,20)-lyase inhibitors were synthesized using de novo design based on its substrate, 17 alpha-hydroxypregnenolone, and several compounds exhibited potent C(17,20)-lyase inhibition. However, in vivo activities were found to be short-lasting, and in order to improve the duration of action, a series of benzothiophene derivatives were evaluated. As a result, compounds 9h, (S)-9i, and 9k with nanomolar enzyme inhibition (IC(50)=4-9 nM) and 9e (IC(50)=27 nM) were identified to have powerful in vivo efficacy with extended duration of action. The key structural determinants for the in vivo efficacy were demonstrated to be the 5-fluoro group on the benzothiophene ring and the 4-imidazolyl moiety. Superimposition of 9k and 17 alpha-hydroxypregnenolone demonstrated their structural similarity and enabled rationalization of the pharmacological results. In addition, selected compounds were also identified to be potent inhibitors of human enzyme with IC(50) values of 20-30 nM.

Thirty-seven halogeno-substituted 2- and 3-methyl-(or halogenomethyl)-benzothiophenes, including 17 new compounds, were prepared.The constitution of 14 of these was confirmed by full analysis (LAOCOON) of their 80 MHz 1H NMR spectra and by 1H NOE measurements.In this way a by-product from the preparation of 4- and 6-bromo-3-bromomethylbenzothiophenes was shown conclusively to be 5-bromo-3-bromomethylbenzothiophene.The 3-substituted benzothiophenes showed greater NOE enhancement factors at H-4 than at H-2 when the 3-methyl or halogenomethyl substituent was irradiated.
