17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (17β-HSD2) is responsible for the oxidation of the highly active estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) into the less potent estrone (E1) and Δ4-androstene-3,17-dione (Δ4-AD), respectively. As 17β-HSD2 is present in bones and as estradiol and testosterone are able to induce bone formation and repress bone resorption, inhibition of this enzyme could be a new promising approach for the treatment of osteoporosis. Herein, we describe the design, the synthesis and the biological evaluation of 24 new 17β-HSD2 inhibitors in the 5-substituted thiophene-2-carboxamide class. Structure-activity and structure-selectivity relationships have been explored by variation of the sulfur atom position in the central core, exchange of the thiophene by a thiazole, substitution of the amide group with a larger moiety, exchange of the N-methylamide group with bioisosteres like N-methylsulfonamide, N-methylthioamide and ketone, and substitutions at positions 2 and 3 of the thiophene core with alkyl and phenyl groups leading to 2,3,5-trisubstituted thiophene derivatives. The compounds were evaluated on human and mouse enzymes. From this study, a novel highly potent and selective compound in both human and mouse 17β-HSD2 enzymes was identified, compound 21 (IC 50(h17β-HSD2) = 235 nM, selectivity factor toward h17β-HSD1 = 95, IC50 (m17β-HSD2) = 54 nM). This new compound 21 could be used for an in vivo proof of principle to demonstrate the true therapeutic efficacy of 17β-HSD2 inhibitors in osteoporosis. New structural insights into the active sites of the human and mouse enzymes were gained.

The poly(ethylene glycol) ester of bromo-, iodo-, and triflate-para-substituted benzoates are smoothly cross-coupled with aryl boronic acids (Suzuki reaction) under "ligandless" palladium acetate catalysis in water. The reaction proceeds without organic cosolvent under conventional thermal conditions (70°C, 2 h) and under microwave irradiation (75 W, 2-4 min). The polymeric support remains stable under both reaction conditions. Whereas conventional thermal conditions induced ester cleavage (up to 45%), this side reaction is suppressed when microwave conditions are employed. Aryl nonaflates give fair yields under these conditions. Non-polymer-bound aryl halides form biaryls in good to excellent yields in water/poly(ethylene glycol) mixtures under microwave irradiation (4 min, 75 W).
