AKR1C3-activated prodrugs of Formula (I), pharmaceutical compositions comprising prodrugs of Formula (I), and their use in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer and for cell ablation. The compounds of the invention are able to penetrate neoplasm tissue and be selectively reduced to an active (cytotoxic) form by contact with an AKR1C3 enzyme found in the neoplasm. This active form is therefore able to ablate AKR1C3-expressing target cells of the neoplasm and therefore has particular utility in the treatment of cancer and other hyperproliferative disorders.

A series of novel amides showing broad pharmaceutical activity. Compounds described herein are effective as anticonvulsants, chemical countermeasures, and analgesics. Such compounds also show, neuroprotective/neuroreparative effects and activity against spinal muscular atrophy. Such pharmaceutically active compounds show utility in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases and disorders, such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, migraine headaches, schizophrenia, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, ALS, and Huntington's disease) spasticity, and bipolar disorder. Furthermore, such compounds may additionally find utility as analgesics (e.g., for the treatment of chronic or neuropathic pain) and as neuroprotective agents useful in the treatment of stroke(s), and/or traumatic brain and/or spinal cord injuries.
