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…

Bicyclic substituted hydroxyphenylmethanone type inhibitors of 17 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type 1 (17 β-HSD1): the role of the bicyclic moiety
ChemMedChem ·doi:10.1002/cmdc.201000457

An attractive target that has still to be explored for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases, such as breast cancer and endometriosis, is the enzyme responsible for the last step in the biosynthesis of estradiol (E2): 17β-hydroxyster…

Novel estrone mimetics with high 17beta-HSD1 inhibitory activity
Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry ·doi:10.1016/j.bmc.2010.03.065

17Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1) catalyzes the reduction of estrone into estradiol, which is the most potent estrogen in humans. Lowering intracellular estradiol concentration by inhibition of this enzyme is a promis…
