Synthesis and evaluation of AKR1C inhibitory properties of A-ring halogenated oestrone derivatives.
Journal of enzyme inhibition and medicinal chemistry ·doi:10.1080/14756366.2021.1937142

Enzymes AKR1C regulate the action of oestrogens, androgens, and progesterone at the pre-receptor level and are also associated with chemo-resistance. The activities of these oestrone halides were investigated on recombinant AKR1C enzymes. T…

Antiproliferative Properties of Newly Synthesized 19-Nortestosterone Analogs Without Substantial Androgenic Activity.
Frontiers in pharmacology ·doi:10.3389/fphar.2018.00825

19-Nortestosterone C-17 epimers with prominent antiproliferative properties have been previously described. In our present study, five novel 17α-19-nortestosterones (3-7) were synthesized to increase their beneficial biological activities w…
