activities in aromatase inhibition, with the flavonoids being most prominent. Previous studies have exploited flavone and flavanone scaffolds for the development of new aromatase inhibitors. In this paper, we describe the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a novel series of 2-(4'-pyridylmethyl)thioisoflavones as the first example of synthetic isoflavone-based aromatase inhibitors.
芳香酶是一种细胞色素P450血红蛋白,通过将雄激素转化为雌激素来负责雌激素的生物合成,已成为治疗激素依赖性乳腺癌的诱人靶标。结果,已经成功开发了许多合成的甾体或非甾体芳香酶抑制剂。另外,存在几类天然产物,它们在芳香化酶抑制中发挥有效的作用,其中类黄酮最为显着。先前的研究已经利用黄酮和黄烷酮支架来开发新的芳香化酶抑制剂。在本文中,我们描述了一系列新型的2-(4'-吡啶基甲基)硫代异黄酮的设计,合成和生物学评估,这是基于异黄酮的芳香酶抑制剂的第一个实例。
