Abstract

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (17β-HSD2) catalyzes the inactivation of estradiol into estrone. This enzyme is expressed only in a few tissues, and therefore its inhibition is considered as a treatment option for osteoporosis to ameliorate estrogen deficiency. In this study, ligand-based pharmacophore models for 17β-HSD2 inhibitors were constructed and employed for virtual screening. From the virtual screening hits, 29 substances were evaluated in vitro for 17β-HSD2 inhibition. Seven compounds inhibited 17β-HSD2 with low micromolar IC50 values. To investigate structure-activity relationships (SAR), 30 more derivatives of the original hits were tested. The three most potent hits, 12, 22, and 15, had IC50 values of 240 nM, 1 μM, and 1.5 μM, respectively. All but 1 of the 13 identified inhibitors were selective over 17β-HSD1, the enzyme catalyzing conversion of estrone into estradiol. Three of the new, small, synthetic 17β-HSD2 inhibitors showed acceptable selectivity over other related HSDs, and six of them did not affect other HSDs.
