Abstract:
:Efforts to develop a novel class of nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors began with the discovery that the infertility in male rats exposed to high levels of the agricultural fungicide, fenarimol (alpha-(2-chlorophenyl)-alpha-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-pyrimidine-methanol), was attributable to the inhibition of aromatase activity within the central nervous system during the critical neonatal period. Although fenarimol was not particularly potent in inhibiting rat ovarian microsome aromatase activity in vitro (50% inhibition (IC50) = 4.1 microM). Subsequent testing of a number of analogues led to the identification of LY56110 (alpha,alpha-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methylpyrimidine) which exhibited an IC50 of 29 nM. LY56110 was orally active, blocking the testosterone-induced increase of uterine weight and ovarian estrogen biosynthesis in immature female rats. In rats with established DMBA-induced mammary carcinoma, complete tumor regression was observed in 80% of the animals. Development of LY56110 was, however, stopped because of its effects on hepatic microsomal enzymes and an unacceptably long half-life. Structural modifications resulted in the development of the indenopyrimidines. LY113174 (8-chloro-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-5H-indeno less than 1, 2D greater than pyrimidine) was highly effective in vitro (IC50 = 24 nM) and in vivo but was far less potent than LY56110 with respect to induction of hepatic microsomal enzymes. LY113174 exhibited an acceptable biological half-life and had no effect on cholesterol side-chain cleavage. The indenopyrimidines appear to be a novel class of nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors which may prove useful in the treatment of estrogen-dependent diseases.
