CYP11B1 is the key enzyme in cortisol biosynthesis, and its inhibition with selective compounds is a promising strategy for the treatment of diseases associated with elevated cortisol levels, such as Cushing’s syndrome or metabolic disease. Expanding on a previous study from our group resulting in the first potent and rather selective inhibitor described so far (1, IC50 = 152 nM), we herein describe
CYP11B1 是皮质醇生物合成的关键酶,它用选择性化合物抑制是治疗与皮质醇水平升高相关的疾病(如库欣综合征或代谢疾病)的有前景的策略。Expanding on a previous study from our group resulting in the first potent and rather selective inhibitor described so far ( 1 , IC 50 = 152 nM), we herein describe further optimizations of the imidazolylmethyl pyridine core. 合成的 42 种物质中有五种化合物的 IC 50值低于 50 nM。最有趣的是naphth-1-yl 化合物23 (IC 50 = 42 nM),对高度同源的CYP11B2 ( 1:18 倍)以及分别对雄激素和雌激素形成酶
