- Abstract
The synthesis and potent inhibitory activity of novel 3-(1H-imidazol- and triazol-1-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(4-(naphthalen-2-ylamino)phenyl)propyl derivatives vs a MCF-7 CYP26A1 microsomal assay is described. This study focused on the effect of modifying the heme binding azole group and the flexible C3 chain on inhibitory activity and selectivity. The most promising inhibitor 2,2-dimethyl-3-[4-(naphthalen-2-ylamino)-phenyl]-3-[1,2,4]triazol-1-yl-propionic acid methyl ester (17) (IC(50) = 0.35 nM as compared with liarozole IC(50) = 540 nM and R116010 IC(50) = 10 nM) was evaluated for CYP selectivity and hepatic stability. Compounds with CYP26 inhibitory IC(50) values
