ABSTRACT
A novel series of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (17beta-HSD3) inhibitors has been identified. These inhibitors, based on a dibenzazocine core, exhibited picomolar to low nanomolar inhibition of 17beta-HSD3 in cell-free enzymatic as well as in cell-based transcriptional reporter assays.
