Abstract

Novel and potent inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (17β-HSD3) were identified based on oxazolidinedione and thiazolidinedione derivatives, starting from a high- throughput screening hit, 5-(3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzyl)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1, 3-thiazol-2- one 1. 5-(3-Bromo-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-thioxo-1, 3-thiazolidin-4- one 21 exhibited a promising activity profile and demonstrated significant selectivity over ...
