11β-HSD1-IN-6 is a potent inhibitor of 11β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzymes (11β-HSDs). These enzymes are responsible for catalyzing the conversion of the active glucocorticoids, corticosterone or cortisol, to their respective inactive forms, 11-dehydrocorticosterone (11-DHC) and cortisone. The compound 11β-HSD1-IN-6 specifically targets and inhibits 11β-HSD-1, effectively modulating the interconversion of these glucocorticoids. [1]
Steroid sulfatase 17β-HSD1-IN-1 is a highly effective inhibitor of both steroid sulfatase and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1) activities, displaying an IC50 value of 28 nM against cellular human steroid sulfatase. This compound holds significant potential for investigating estrogen-dependent diseases [1].
