Estrone sulfate analogs as estrone sulfatase inhibitors
摘要:
The high serum concentration of estrone sulfate and the presence of estrone sulfatase in breast tumors constitute an important mechanism of local synthesis of estrogens in the tissue. Thus, inhibitors of estrone sulfatase may be effective in the treatment of estrogen-dependent breast cancer. In this study, we synthesized several isostructural analogs of estrone sulfate (estrone-3-methylsulfonate, estrone phosphate, 3-desoxyestradiol-3-methylenesulfonate, and 3-desoxyestrone-3-methylenesulfonate) and tested them on human placental sterylsulfatase. The results were (i) The K-i of 3-desoxyestrone-3-methylenesulfonate 12 and 3-desoxyestradiol-3-methylenesulfonate 7 are more than 100-fold higher than the K-i or K-M estrone sulfate, (ii) As compared to estrone sulfate, the K-i value for estrone-3-methylsulfonate 2 is about 30-fold higher, while estrone phosphate 3 is bound by the sulfatase with roughly the same affinity as estrone sulfate. The results shed some light on the electronical and sterical requirements for high affinity binding to the enzyme.

A rhodium-catalyzedenantioselective formal [4+1] annulation of benzyl alcohols and benzaldimines with secondary silanes has been achieved in excellent enantioselectivity to afford a range of sila-O- and sila-N-heterocycles with silicon-stereogenic centers, where the rhodium catalyst plays a dual role in the O/N-Si and C-Si coupling.
