Identification of a novel series of tetrahydrodibenzazocines as inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3

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