Abstract

We report the synthesis and biochemical evaluation of a range of 4-sulfonated derivatives of 4-hydroxybenzyl imidazole which has been targetted against the two components of 17α- hydroxylase/17, 20-lyase (P-45017α), namely, 17α-hydroxylase (17α-OHase) and 17, 20- lyase (lyase). The results from the biochemical testing suggest that the compounds synthesised are highly potent inhibitors possessing excellent selectivity towards the lyase ...
