Synthetic glucocorticoids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and have been used for nearly 70 years to treat inflammatory diseases. However, their use is limited by adverse effects such as diabetes, muscle wasting and osteoporosis. High throughput screening identified a novel non-steroidal scaffold with great potential for chemical optimization. Through rational design we developed the indazole ether series which combines high potency with structural motifs that provide ...
