This study investigated bis(hydroxyphenyl)triazoles as inhibitors of 17beta-HSD1 and 17beta-HSD2, finding 3-[4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]phenol to be the most potent inhibitor of 17beta-HSD1 with good selectivity.

The content provided does not include the actual scientific paper text (it is blocked by a Proof-of-Work page), so the study’s objectives, methods, results, and stated limitations cannot be determined. No experimental or analytical findings about bis(hydroxyphenyl)triazoles or 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are accessible from the message. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

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 endometriosis, the selective inhibition of this enzyme is discussed as a promising approach for the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases. Recently, we reported on bis(hydroxyphenyl)azoles as a new class of potent inhibitors of 17beta-HSD1. In this paper, we focused on bis(hydroxyphenyl)triazoles. The influence of nitrogens on the potency as well as the space available around the heterocycle was investigated. Substituents were introduced on the triazole core in order to establish additional interactions with the enzyme active site. The compounds were evaluated for activity towards 17beta-HSD1 and selectivity with regard to 17beta-HSD2, the enzyme which is responsible for the deactivation of E2 into E1. 3-[4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]phenol (3) was the most active compound discovered in this study with an IC(50) value of 840nM and a reasonable selectivity towards 17beta-HSD2.

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone. Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive. Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate. Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.
