Synthesis and characterization of azole isoflavone inhibitors of aromatase
摘要:
The synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of 2-azole and 2-thioazole isoflavones as potential aromatase inhibitors are described. Differences in inhibitory activity of triazole and imidazole inhibitors are rationalized with density functional theory to expose a key difference in the electronic structure of these molecules. In addition, difference binding spectra of inhibitors to immuno-affinity-purified aromatase produces classical Type II spectra consistent with coordination of the nitrogen lone pair electrons to the aromatase P450 heme.
