We report the discovery of highly potent and selective non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor modulators with PK properties suitable for inhalation. A high throughput screen of the AstraZeneca compound collection identified sulfonamide 3 as a potent non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor ligand. Further optimization of this lead generated indazoles 30 and 48 that were progressed to characterization in in vivo models. X-ray crystallography was used to gain further insight into the binding mode of selected ligands.
