Cridanimod can increase progesterone receptor (PR) expression, with potential antineoplastic adjuvant activity. Cridanimod is able to induce the expression of PR in endometrial cancer. In combination with a progestin, cancer cells could be eradicated thro
Steroid sulfatase-IN-2 is an active inhibitor of steroid sulfatase (STS), demonstrating an IC50 value of 109.5 nM. Its potential application lies in hormone-dependent cancer research, specifically estrogen-dependent breast and endometrial cancer [1].
