17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (17β-HSD2) catalyzes the oxidation of the potent estradiol (E2) to the less active estrogen estrone (E1). Inhibitors of this enzyme should maintain the local level of E2 in bone tissue when the E2 concentration in t

Human 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1) catalyzes the reduction of the weak estrogen estrone (E1) to the highly potent estradiol (E2). This reaction takes place in the target cell where the estrogenic effect is exerted via the estrogen receptor (ER). Estrogens, especially E2, are known to stimulate the proliferation of hormone-dependent diseases. 17β-HSD1 is overexpressed in many breast tumors. Thus, it is an attractive target for the treatment of these diseases. Ligand- and structure-based drug design led to the discovery of novel, selective, and potent inhibitors of 17β-HSD1. Phenyl-substituted bicyclic moieties were synthesized as mimics of the steroidal substrate. Computational methods were used to obtain insight into their interactions with the protein. Compound 5 turned out to be a highly potent inhibitor of 17β-HSD1 showing good selectivity (17β-HSD2, ERα and β), medium cell permeation, reasonable metabolic stability (rat hepatic microsomes), and little inhibition of hepatic CYP enzymes.

The 2-phenylnaphthalene scaffold was explored as a simplified version of genistein in order to identify ER selective ligands. With the aid of docking studies, positions 1, 4, and 8 of the 2-phenylnaphthalene template were predicted to be the most potentially influential positions to enhance ER selectivity using two different binding orientations. Both orientations have the phenol moiety mimicking the A-ring of genistein. Several compounds predicted to adopt orientations similar to that of genistein when bound to ERβ were observed to have slightly higher ER affinity and selectivity than genistein. The second orientation we exploited, which was different from that of genistein when bound to ERβ, resulted in the discovery of several compounds that had superior ER selectivity and affinity versus genistein. X-ray structures of two ER selective compounds (i.e., 15 and 47) confirmed the alternate binding mode and suggested that substituents at positions 1 and 8 were responsible for inducing selectivity. One compound (i.e., 47, WAY-202196) was further examined and found to be effective in two models of inflammation, suggesting that targeting ER may be therapeutically useful in treating certain chronic inflammatory diseases.
