A novel class of inhibitors for human steroid 5 alpha-reductase: phenoxybenzoic acid derivatives. I.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a search for novel nonsteroidal inhibitors of human prostatic 5 alpha-reductase, we found a new series of phenoxybenzoic acid derivatives to be potent human prostatic 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors. Among them, 4-(biphenyl-4-yloxy)benzoic acid derivatives (2n, YM-31758), 2o and 2s showed more potent inhibitory activities than finasteride with IC50 values of 0.87, 0.67 and 0.56 nM, respectively. The optimized structures for the phenoxybenzoic acid derivatives 2d-2i were calculated by molecular modeling analysis, and the favorable distance between the carbon of the carboxyl group and the centroid of the phenyl group (benzene ring C) was found to be in the 9-11 A range.

A novel class of inhibitors for human steroid 5alpha-reductase: synthesis and biological evaluation of indole derivatives. II.
In a search for novel nonsteroidal inhibitors of human prostatic 5alpha-reductase, we found a new series of indole derivatives that showed potent inhibitory activities for the human enzyme. Among them, 4-[(1-benzyl-1H-indol-5-yl)oxyl-3-chlorobenzoic acid (2d, YM-32906) showed more potent inhibitory activity than finasteride with an IC50 value of 0.44 nM. 3-Chloro-4-[[1-(4-phenoxybenzyl)-1H-indo...
متن کاملSynthesis and Biological Screening of 1,3-Dialkyl Derivatives of 4-(2’5-Dioxopyrrolidine-3-yl) Phenyl Sulphinic Acid as Inhibitors of Oestrone Sulphatase
1,3-dialkyl 3-phenylpyrrolidine-2, 5-diones were modified to produce potential steroid sulphatase inhibitors. These modifications were aimed at producing compounds, which could be expected to bind reasonably well to the active site of the steroid sulphatase enzyme but could not be hydrolyzed readily by the enzyme due to the covalent S-C bond present. In this regard the sulphinic acid deriv...

Tuberculosis (TB) ranks second, next to AIDS making it most formidable disease if the present age. One of the crucial enzymes involved in cell wall synthesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, InhA (enoyl acyl carrier protein reductase) has been authenticated as an effective target for anti-mycobacterial drug development. In the current work, we have developed novel derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole-5-...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland. Itis a leading disorder of the elderly male population. Excessive production of dihydrotestosteronehas been implicated in this pathological condition. Steroidal 5α-reductase is a membrane boundNADPH dependent enzyme which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone (T) todihydrotestosterone (DHT). The...
