Type 3 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) is involved in the biosynthesis of androgen testosterone. To produce potent inhibitors of this key steroidogenic enzyme, we prepared a series of androsterone (ADT) derivatives by adding a variety of substi

Androsterone derivatives substituted at position 3 were synthesized starting from dihydrotestosterone in a short sequence of reactions. They proved to be potent inhibitors (IC50 = 57-147 nM) of type 3 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, a key enzyme of s
