11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 as a Potential Treatment Target in Cardiovascular Diseases

Abstract: Glucocorticoids (GCs) belong to the group of steroid hormones. Their representative in humans is cortisol. GCs are involved in most physiological processes of the body and play a significant role in important biological processes, including reproduction, growth, immune responses, metabolism, maintenance of water and electrolyte balance, functioning of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system. The availability of cortisol to the glucocorticoid receptor is locally controlled by the enzyme 11β-hyd… Show more

“…The inhibition of the activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 reduces the level of cortisol, and thus reduces the mass of adipose tissue, insulin resistance, and central obesity, as well as lowers the level of total cholesterol. Selective inhibitors have significant potential as a pharmacological treatment for type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease [20,21].…”

“…Pseudothiohydantoin derivatives exhibit a number of biological activities, including antibacterial [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], antifungal [ 3 , 5 ], and antiviral [ 6 , 7 ]. They are also an interesting and promising class of compounds in the search for selective 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) inhibitors [ 8 ]. 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase belongs to the short-chain family of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent (NADP-dependent) dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs).…”
