17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSDs) as therapeutic targets: protein structures, functions, and recent progress in inhibitor development

The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology ·doi:10.1016/j.jsbmb.2010.12.013

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSDs) are oxidoreductases, which play a key role in estrogen and androgen steroid metabolism by catalyzing final steps of the steroid biosynthesis. Up to now, 14 different subtypes have been identified…

New drug-like hydroxyphenylnaphthol steroidomimetics as potent and selective 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases

Journal of medicinal chemistry ·doi:10.1021/jm1009082

Inhibition of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1) is a novel and attractive approach to reduce the local levels of the active estrogen 17β-estradiol in patients with estrogen-dependent diseases like breast cancer or endometri…
