Discovery of cyclicsulfonamide derivatives as 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Feb 1;20(3):1065-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.12.035. Epub 2009 Dec 11.

Abstract

A new series of cyclic sulfonamide derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit 11beta-HSD1. Cyclic sulfonamides with phenylacetyl substituents at the 2-position showed nanomolar inhibitory activities. Among them, compound 4e exhibited a good in vitro inhibitory activity and selectivity toward human 11beta-HSD2.
