Abstract
The purpose of this review article is to provide an overview of recent achievements in the synthesis of novel steroid sulphatase (STS) inhibitors. STS is a crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis of active hormones (including oestrogens and androgens) and, therefore, represents an extremely attractive molecular target for the development of hormone-dependent cancer therapies. The inhibition of STS may effectively reduce the availability of active hormones for cancer cells, causing a positive therapeutic effect. Herein, we report examples of novel STS inhibitors based on steroidal and nonsteroidal cores that contain various functional groups (e.g. sulphamate and phosphorus moieties) and halogen atoms, which may potentially be used in therapies for hormone-dependent cancers. The presented work also includes examples of multitargeting agents with STS inhibitory activities. Furthermore, the fundamental discoveries in the development of the most promising drug candidates exhibiting STS inhibitory activities are highlighted.

Abstract
A series of fluorinated analogs based on the frameworks of 4-(1-phenyl-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl)-phenyl sulfamates have been synthesized as steroid sulfatase (STS) inhibitors. The design of chemical structures of new potential STS inhibitors was supported by molecular docking techniques to identify potential interactions between inhibitors and amino acid residues located in the STS active site. The STS inhibitory potency was evaluated on STS isolated from human placenta. We found that compounds substituted with fluorine atom at the meta position demonstrated the highest inhibitory effects in enzymatic STS assay. The most active analog 12e - inhibited STS enzyme with the IC50 value of 36 nM.

Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of piperazinyl-ureido sulfamates as steroid sulfatase inhibitors. Eur J Med Chem 2019; 182:111614. [PMID: 31422224 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2019.111614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2019] [Revised: 07/26/2019] [Accepted: 08/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Two new piperazinyl-ureido single ring aryl sulfamate-based inhibitor series were designed against the emerging oncology drug target steroid sulfatase (STS), for which there are existing potent steroidal and non-steroidal agents in clinical trials. 4-(Piperazinocarbonyl)aminosulfamates (5-31) were obtained by reacting 4-hydroxyarylamines with phenylchloroformate, subsequent sulfamoylation of the resulting hydroxyarylcarbamates and coupling of the product with 1-substituted piperazines. Pyrimidinyl-piperazinourea sulfamates (35-42) were synthesized by pyrimidine ring closure of 4-Boc-piperazine-1-carboxamidine with 3-(dimethylamino)propenones, deprotection and coupling with the sulfamoylated building block. Target ureidosulfamates 5-31 and 35-42 were evaluated both as STS inhibitors in vitro using a lysate of JEG-3 human placenta choriocarcinoma cell line and in a whole cell assay. SAR conclusions were drawn from both series. In series 35-42 the best inhibitory activity is related to the presence of a benzofuryl on the pyrimidine ring. In series 5-31 the best inhibitory activity was shown by the ureas bearing 4-chlorophenyl, 3,4-dichlorophenyl groups or aliphatic chains at the piperazino 4-nitrogen displaying IC50 in the 33-94 nM concentration range. Final optimization to the low nanomolar level was achieved through substitution of the arylsulfamate ring with halogens. Four halogenated arylsulfamates of high potency were achieved and two of these 19 and 20 had IC50 values of 5.1 and 8.8 nM respectively and are attractive for potential in vivo evaluation and further development. We demonstrate the optimization of this new series to low nanomolar potency, employing fluorine substitution, providing potent membrane permeant inhibitors with further development potential indicating piperazinyl-ureido aryl sulfamate derivatives as an attractive new class of STS inhibitors.
