Treating estrogen-dependent diseases like endometriosis with drugs suppressing local estrogen activation may be superior to existing endocrine therapies. Steroid sulfatase (STS) and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1) are key…
article
2022
A novel approach for the dual inhibition of steroid sulfatase (STS) and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1(17β HSD1) by a single drug was explored, starting from in-house 17β HSD1 inhibitors via masking their phenolic OH group with a s…

The human luteinizing hormone receptor (hLH-R) is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), activated by luteinizing hormone (hLH) and essentially involved in the regulation of sex hormone productio…

The presence and growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity in endometriosis patients are primarily driven by hormone-dependent and inflammatory processes-the latter being frequently associated with severe, acute, and chronic p…

STS and 17β-HSD1 are attractive targets for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases like endometriosis and breast cancer. The simultaneous inhibition of both enzymes appears more promising than blockage of either protein alone. We desc…

In 1994, following work from this laboratory, it was reported that estrone-3-O-sulfamate irreversibly inhibits a new potential hormone-dependent cancer target steroid sulfatase (STS). Subsequent drug discovery projects were initiated to dev…

The reduction of estrone to estradiol, the most potent estrogen in human, is catalyzed by 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1). A promising approach for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases is the reduction of intracel…

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…

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1) is an enzyme that catalyzes NADPH-dependent reduction of the weak estrogen, estrone, into the most potent estrogen, estradiol, which exerts proliferative effects via the estrogen receptors.…

Estradiol (E2), the most important estrogen in humans, is involved in the initiation and progression of estrogen-dependent diseases such as breast cancer and endometriosis. Its local production in the target cell is regulated by 17β-hydroxy…

We have continued to explore the 3,3-dialkyl-5-aryloxindole series of progesterone receptor (PR) modulators looking for new agents to be used in female healthcare: contraception, fibroids, endometriosis, and certain breast cancers. Previous…

17beta-Estradiol (E2), the most potent female sex hormone, stimulates the growth of mammary tumors and endometriosis via activation of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha). 17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1), which is…

The discovery of novel uracil phenylethylamines bearing a butyric acid as potent human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (hGnRH-R) antagonists is described. A major focus of this optimization was to improve the CYP3A4 inhibition liabi…

Pathological angiogenesis is associated with disease states such as cancer, diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, endometriosis, and psoriasis. There is much evidence that direct inhibition of the kinase activity of vascular endotheli…

Herein we describe the chemical synthesis and pharmacological characterization of a novel, highly potent progesterone receptor (PR) antagonist, ZK 230211. The introduction of a 17alpha-pentafluorethyl side chain in the D-ring of the steroid…
