Aromatase inhibitors: Effect of ring A and ring B unsaturation on aromatase inhibition by 4-thiosubstituted derivatives of 4-androstene-3,17-dione
摘要:
The synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-thiosubstituted derivatives of 1,4-androstadienedione, 4,6-androstadienedione, and 1,4,6-androstatrienedione as inhibitors of aromatase are described. Inhibitory activity of synthesized compounds was assessed using a human placental microsomal preparation as the enzyme source and [1 beta-H-3]androstenedione as substrate. Under initial velocity assay conditions of low product formation, the inhibitors demonstrated potent inhibition of aromatase, with apparent K(i)s ranging from 9.8 to 137 nM and with K-m for androstenedione being 38 nM. However, unlike other 1,4-androstadienediones and 1,4,6-androstatrienediones in which time-dependent inactivation was observed, the 4-thiosubstituted analogs were found to be competitive inhibitors and did not produce any time-dependent inactivation of aromatase.

The present invention relates to the treatment of estrogen-dependent hyperproliferative uterine disorders including endometriosis, uterine fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia, uterine cancer, and their related symptoms by intravaginally administering at least two active agents selected from an aromatase inhibitor, an antiinflammatory agent, and a uterine-selective estrogen receptor antagonist. This combination therapy reduces local estrogen production, blocks local estrogen action, and suppresses inflammation locally, resulting in starvation of the estrogen-dependent diseased tissues, relief of related symptoms, and retardation of disease progression. Intravaginal delivery maximizes local inhibition of estrogen production without significantly affecting systemic circulating estrogen levels. This results in enhanced clinical efficacy and reduced side effects.
A composition for medicinal treatment by means of topical administration is described, which contains an aromatase inhibitor, in addition to conventional constituents of topical forms of administration. The active ingredient or the composition containing this active ingredient is especially suitable for the prophylaxis and for the treatment of mastalgia.
The invention describes a combination of at least one aromatase inhibitor selected from the group of chemical-synthetic aromatase inhibitors and aromatase inhibition exhibiting extracts of soya beans and rapeseed, respectively, and at least one plant extract that contains one or more active ingredient substance(s) extracted from the plant, which is(are) selected from the group of 5α reductase type I and/or type II inhibitors and androgen receptor blockers, said combination being contained for example in a composition and having special properties for influencing hair growth. Uses of this combination are also described.
