To provide a novel and excellent method for treating and/or preventing prostatic cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, baldness, alopecia, precocious puberty, adrenal hypertrophy, polycystic ovary syndrome, breast cancer, lung cancer, endometriosis, leiomyoma and the like based on selective inhibitory activity against 17βHSD type 5.
It was found that an N-sulfonylindole derivative, where the indole ring is substituted by a carboxy group, a carboxy-substituted lower alkyl group or a carboxy-substituted lower alkenyl group at its carbon atom, has potent selective inhibitory activity against 17βHSD type 5 and may become a therapeutic agent and/or preventive agent for benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatic cancer and the like without accompanying adverse drug reactions due to a decrease in testosterone, and the present invention has thus been completed.
提供一种新颖优良的方法,用于基于对17βH
SD type 5的选择性抑制活性,治疗和/或预防前列腺癌、良性前列腺增生、痤疮、皮脂溢出、多毛症、
脱发、早熟、肾上腺增生、多囊卵巢综合症、乳腺癌、肺癌、子宫内膜异位症、平滑肌瘤等疾病。发现一种N-磺酰基
吲哚衍
生物,其中
吲哚环在其
碳原子上被羧基、羧基取代的低
碳基或羧基取代的低
烯基取代,具有强大的选择性抑制17βH
SD type 5的活性,可以成为治疗剂和/或预防剂,用于治疗良性前列腺增生、前列腺癌等疾病,不会伴随着由于
睾酮减少而引起的不良药物反应,因此本发明已经完成。
