We report the initial structure-activity relationship study (SAR) (in particular log P) of a series of compounds based upon 4-sulfamated phenyl ketones as potent inhibitors of the enzyme estrone sulfatase (ES). The results of the study show that these compounds are irreversible inhibitors of ES and that they are more potent than COUMATE, but weaker than ENTATE. Analysis of the SAR data shows a strong correlation between IC50 and log P but also supports our previous study, which suggests a very strong relationship between pK(a) and IC50.
