Five new non-steroidal inhibitors for cytochrome P450 17A1 (CYP17A1) were identified by structure-based optimisation from a recently identified selective CYP17A1 inhibitor. The compounds are nanomolar inhibitors of steroidogenesis measured in recombinant CYP17A1 and in H295R cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
