Abstract
The synthesis and in vitro inhibitory studies against human types 1 and 2 steroid 5α- reductase of a series of 9, 10-dihydrophenanthrene-2-carboxylic acids is reported. A (4- carboxy) phenyl substituent at C-7 provides a compound with activity against both isozymes. The structural features responsible for activity are discussed.
