Effects of novel 17-azolyl compounds on androgen synthesis in vitro and in vivo

17-Azolyl steroids were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of androgen synthesis in vitro and in vivo. Several of the novel compounds exhibit potent noncompetitive inhibition of human 17α-hydroxylase/C 17,20-lyase with IC 50 values ranging from 7 to 90 nM, and K i values from 1.2 to 41 nM. VN/8...

description 17-Azolyl steroids were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of androgen synthesis in vitro and in vivo. Several of the novel compounds exhibit potent noncompetitive inhibition of human 17α-hydroxylase/C 17,20-lyase with IC 50 values ranging from 7 to 90 nM, and K i values from 1.2 to 41 nM. VN/85-1 and VN/108-1 were the most potent inhibitors against this enzyme with IC 50 value of 8 nM ( K i of 1.2 nM) and 7 nM ( K i of 1.9 nM), respectively. VN/107-1, VN/108-1 and VN/109-1 also showed moderate inhibition of 5α-reductase in human prostatic microsomes. Normal adult male rats were treated with these novel 17-azolyl steroidal compounds at a dose level of 50 mg/kg, s.c., for 14 consecutive days, sacrificed 1–2 h after the last administered dose and blood, prostate and other tissues were collected. The organs were weighed and tissue concentrations of testosterone (T) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were measured. Tissue T levels were significantly ( p

Similarly, the concentration of DHT in the serum and prostates was significantly ( p&lt;0.05) diminished in rats treated with the 17-azolyl steroids by 39–80% compared to the control group. Furthermore, the wet weights of the prostates and seminal vesicles were significantly ( p&lt;0.05) reduced by several of the novel steroids. Although only one dose was evaluated in these studies, VN/85-1 was the most effective compound and reduced prostatic androgen levels by more than 80% and the wet weights of the prostate and seminal vesicles in rats by about 50%.
