Screening efforts identified (bis)sulfonic acid, (bis)benzamides (1-3) as compounds that interact with the follicle stimulating-hormone receptor (FSHR) and inhibit FSH-stimulated cAMP accumulation with IC(50) values in the low micromolar range. Structure-activity relationship studies using novel analogues of 1-3 revealed that two phenylsulfonic acid moieties were necessary for activity and that the carbon-carbon double bond of the stilbene sub-series was the optimum spacer connecting these groups. Selected analogues (2, 14, and 50) were also able to block FSHR-dependent estradiol production in rat primary ovarian granulosa cells and progesterone secretion in a clonal mouse adrenal Y1 cell line. IC(50) values for these compounds in these assays were in the low micromolar range. Optimization of the benzoic acid side chains of 1-3 led to gains in selectivity versus activity at the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (TSHR). For instance, while stilbene (bis)sulfonic acid congener 2 was only 10-fold selective for FSHR over TSHR, analogue 50 with an IC(50) value of 0.9 microM in the FSHR-cAMP assay was essentially inactive at 30 microM in the TSHR-cAMP assay.
