Aromatase and dual aromatase-steroid sulfatase inhibitors from the letrozole and vorozole templates.

ChemMedChem | 2011

Concurrent inhibition of aromatase and steroid sulfatase (STS) may provide a more effective treatment for hormone-dependent breast cancer than monotherapy against individual enzymes, and several dual aromatase-sulfatase inhibitors (DASIs) have been reported. Three aromatase inhibitors with sub-nanomolar potency, better than the benchmark agent letrozole, were designed. To further explore the DASI concept, a new series of letrozole-derived sulfamates and a vorozole-based sulfamate were designed and biologically evaluated in JEG-3 cells to reveal structure-activity relationships. Amongst achiral and racemic compounds, 2-bromo-4-(2-(4-cyanophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethyl)phenyl sulfamate is the most potent DASI (aromatase: IC₅₀ =0.87 nM; STS: IC₅₀ =593 nM). The enantiomers of the phenolic precursor to this compound were separated by chiral HPLC and their absolute configuration determined by X-ray crystallography. Following conversion to their corresponding sulfamates, the S-(+)-enantiomer was found to inhibit aromatase and sulfatase most potently (aromatase: IC₅₀ =0.52 nM; STS: IC₅₀ =280 nM). The docking of each enantiomer and other ligands into the aromatase and sulfatase active sites was also investigated.

Cambridge Structural Data Base (tool)

RRID:SCR_007310

It records bibliographic, chemical and crystallographic information for organic molecules and metal-organic compounds whose 3D structures have been determined using X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction.
The CSD records results of single crystal studies and powder diffraction studies which yield 3D atomic coordinate data for at least all non-H atoms. In some cases the CCDC is unable to obtain coordinates, and incomplete entries are archived to the CSD.
The CSD includes crystal structure data arising from:
* publications in the open literature
* Private Communications to the CSD (via direct data deposition)
The Cambridge Structural Database System (CSDS) is a single product that comprises the following components: The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD); CSDS Software: search and information retrieval (ConQuest), structure visualization (Mercury), statistical analysis of retrieved data (VISTA), and software for database creation (PreQuest); Knowledge bases derived from the CSD: Mogul (intramolecular geometry) and IsoStar (intermolecular interactions, including data from the PDB).
Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is the world repository of small-molecule crystal structures. For example, the crystal structures supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse are deposited here.
