Abstract
The synthesis and in vivo SAR of 2-(2,2,2)-trifluoroethyl-benzimidazoles are described. Prostate antagonism and/or levator ani agonism can be modulated by varying the substitution at the 2-position of 5,6-dichloro-benzimidazoles. Potent androgen agonists on the muscle were discovered that strongly bind to the androgen receptor (2–17 nM) and show potent in vivo efficacy (0.03–0.11 mg/day). True SARMs showing both prostate antagonism and levator ani agonism were revealed.
