To gain insight into the binding manner of androst-4-ene-6,17-dione (4) and its 5-en-4-one analog 9, good competitive inhibitors of aromatase, in the active site of the enzyme, their 19-oxygenated derivatives were evaluated as inhibitors of human placental aromatase. The 19-hydroxy steroids 6, 7, and 10 and the 19-oxo analogs 8 and 12 were much poorer competitive inhibitors than their corresponding parent 19-methyl steroids. Conversion of the 17-keto inhibitors 4, 6, and 10 to the 17beta-ols 5… CONTINUE READING
