The preparation and in vitroaromataseinhibitoryactivity of a wide variety of heterocyclic (4,4'-dichlorodiphenyl)methanes and -methanols are described. The choice of the two diaryl-bearing moieties as a vehicle for the evaluation of the heterocycles was made by the comparison of series of imidazole and pyridine-derived compounds with similar pyrimidine compounds reported previously. A structural
This invention provides imidazole derivatives of the formula
wherein Q is hydrogen or hydroxy and
R1 and R2 are independently F or Cl, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
α,α-Bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazole-4(5)-methanol, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and their pharmaceutical formulations which are useful in inhibiting aromatase or treating or preventing estrogen-dependent diseases in mammals.
