role in the biosynthesis of androgens. Flufenamic acid, a non-selective AKR1C3 inhibitor, has previously been subjected to bioisosteric modulation to give rise to a series of compounds with the hydroxytriazole core. In this work, the hit compound of the previous series has been modulated further, and new, more potent, and selective derivatives have been obtained. The poor solubility of the most active
醛酮还原酶 1C3 (AKR1C3) 酶在去势抵抗性前列腺癌 (CRPC) 中被认为是一个有吸引力的靶标,因为它在雄激素的生物合成中起作用。氟芬那酸是一种非选择性的 AKR1C3 抑制剂,之前已经进行了生物等排调节,以产生一系列具有羟基三唑核心的化合物。在这项工作中,对前一系列的命中化合物进行了进一步调制,并获得了新的、更有效和选择性的衍生物。最活跃的化合物 (cpd 5 ) 的溶解度差已通过用异恶唑异核取代三唑核心得到改善,同时保留了相似的酶活性。有效的 AKR1C3 抑制转化为针对 22RV1 CRPC 细胞模型的抗增殖作用,并且本文描述了新化合物的计算机设计、合成和生物活性。化合物还与两种已批准的抗肿瘤药物阿比特龙和恩杂鲁胺联合进行了分析。
