Estrogens are the major female sex steroid hormones, estradiol (E2) being the most potent form in humans. Disturbing the balance between E2 and its weakly active oxidized form estrone (E1) leads to diverse types of estrogen-dependent diseas…

c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) play a central role in many physiologic and pathologic processes. We synthesized novel 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one oxime analogs and tryptanthrin-6-oxime (indolo[2,1-b]quinazoline-6,12-dion-6-oxime) an…

17β-Estradiol (E2), the most potent human estrogen, is known to be involved in the etiology of estrogen-dependent diseases (EDD) like breast cancer and endometriosis. 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1) catalyses the last ste…

Two series of compounds, benzyl alkylated at position 17alpha and 20 of androstane and pregnane, respectively, were synthesised and tested for steroid sulphatase inhibition. We compared the ability of the compounds to inhibit steroid sulpha…
