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…

Bicyclic substituted hydroxyphenylmethanones as novel inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1) for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases
Journal of medicinal chemistry ·doi:10.1021/jm101073q

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…

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…

Selective inhibition of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17betaHSD1) reduces estrogen responsive cell growth of T47-D breast cancer cells
The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology ·doi:10.1016/j.jsbmb.2009.02.006

The most potent estrogen estradiol (E2) plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of estrogen dependent diseases. 17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17betaHSD1) catalyses the NADPH-dependent E2-formation from estrone (…

The role of the heterocycle in bis(hydroxyphenyl)triazoles for inhibition of 17beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17beta-HSD) type 1 and type 2
Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/j.mce.2008.09.012

17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1) is responsible for the catalytic reduction of the weak estrogen estrone (E1) into the highly potent 17beta-estradiol (E2). As 17beta-HSD1 is often overexpressed in mammary tumors and …

Design, synthesis, biological evaluation and pharmacokinetics of bis(hydroxyphenyl) substituted azoles, thiophenes, benzenes, and aza-benzenes as potent and selective nonsteroidal inhibitors of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1)
Journal of medicinal chemistry ·doi:10.1021/jm8006917

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…
