Abstract
Pharmacokinetic studies in cynomolgus monkeys with a novel prototype selective androgen receptor modulator revealed trace amounts of an aniline fragment released through hydrolytic metabolism. This aniline fragment was determined to be mutagenic in an Ames assay. Subsequent concurrent optimization for target activity and avoidance of mutagenicity led to the identification of a pharmacologically superior clinical candidate without mutagenic potential.
