Aromatase inhibition is the new standard of care for estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and has also potential for treatment of other diseases such as endometriosis. Simple and readily available 3-pyridyl arylethers and 1-aryl pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridines recapitulating the key pharmacophore elements of Letrozole (1) are described and their structure-activity relationships are discussed. Potent and ligand efficient leads such as compound 23 (IC 50 = 59 nM on aromatase) have been identified.
