Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ij-0 2 9 JUL 2034 Abstract Inhibition of steroidogenic enzymes, which are involved in the biosynthesis of active estrogens, represents an attractive approach to treating hormone-dependent breast cancer. Synthetic routes to novel steroid-based inhibitors of two key enzymes, steroid sulfatase (STS) and 17 P-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17P-HSD type 1), are described. Biological evaluation of the derivatives in vitro indicated that most of the compounds synthesised were active against the selected targets to varying degrees. Particular attention was given to assessing the estrogenicity of potential inhibitors, since agonist activity at the estrogen receptor is undesired in the treatment of estrogen-dependent pathologies. Modifications to the D-ring of estrone-3-O-sulfamate EMATE, a potent STS inhibitor, successfully afforded a 3-sulfamoyloxy-16,17-sec<?-estra-l,3,5(10)-triene- 16,17-imide template, from which a series of A-alkylated analogues were prepared. The TV-propyl and A-pyridin-3-ylmethyl derivatives were 18 times more potent than EMATE in vitro, with IC 5 0 S of 1 nM in placental microsomes. In vivo, these compounds inhibited 99% of rat liver sulfatase activity at an oral dose of 10 mg/kg. Importantly, they were also devoid of estrogenic activity. The SAR for the derivatives synthesised is discussed and a QSAR was established. Substrate-based design of 17P-HSD type 1 inhibitors resulted in the identification of several lead compounds, mostly D-ring modified estrogens. The potential of 16- alkylidenes derivatives of estradiol as enzyme-generated irreversible inhibitors was examined. Small modifications to the estra-l,3,5(10)-triene nucleus were investigated. Both studies were assisted by molecular modelling, using the crystal structure of the enzyme. D-Ring fused heterocyclic derivatives of estrone were prepared and an SAR was built around N-alkylated 16,17-fused pyrazoles. The N- ethoxymethyl derivative emerged as a potent inhibitor of 17p-HSD type 1 in vitro without being estrogenic. A preliminary study focused on the design of dual inhibitors of STS and 17P-HSD type 1 is also reported here. The synthetic work was supported by single crystal X-ray analyses.

Objectives: To suggest possible treatment strategies for non-binary transgender individuals with non-standardized requests and to emphasize the importance of a personalized clinical approach. Methods: A narrative review of pertinent literature on gender-affirming hormonal treatment in transgender persons was performed using PubMed. Results: New hormonal treatment regimens outside those reported in current guidelines should be considered for non-binary transgender individuals, in order to improve psychological well-being and quality of life. In the present review we suggested the use of hormonal and non-hormonal compounds, which—based on their mechanism of action—could be used in these cases depending on clients’ requests. Conclusion: Requests for an individualized hormonal treatment in non-binary transgender individuals represent a future challenge for professionals managing transgender health care. For each case, clinicians should balance the benefits and risks of a personalized non-standardized treatment, actively involving the person in decisions regarding hormonal treatment.

  • Nandrolone Technical Document July 04 V1.0
    WADA Technical Document – TD2004NA Document Number: TD2004NA Version Number: 1.0 Written by: WADA Laboratory Committee Approved by: WADA Executive Committee Date: 28 May, 2004 Effective Date: 13 August, 2004 REPORTING NORANDROSTERONE FINDINGS 1. Introduction: This document has been established to harmonize analysis and reporting of norandrosterone Adverse Analytical Findings by Laboratories. The administration of 19-norsteroids such as 19-nortestosterone (nandrolone), 19-norandrostene-3,17- dione and 19-norandrostene-3,17-diol (delta-4 and -5 isomers) has been shown to lead mainly to the excretion of 19-norandrosterone (NA), 19-noretiocholanolone (NE) and 19-norepiandrosterone (NEA). The latter is found exclusively as its sulfoconjugate while the others are usually excreted as their glucuronide derivative. The sulfate derivatives, generally persistent, may be prevalent at the end of the excretion period. After the i.m. administration of the long-lasting preparations of nandrolone, the metabolites may be detected for months, but metabolites formed after the oral ingestion are excreted massively in the first hours and remain detectable for only a few days. The excretion of 19-norandrosterone generally predominates that of the 5b-isomer but inversed proportions have been reported in some individuals after oral administration either at the end of the excretion period or when ? 5-isomers of related norsteroids were taken (1). Norandrosterone is excreted during pregnancy and2010 as a minor metabolite of norethisterone (2). Special procedures such as more sensitive instrumentation, larger volumes of urine and more extensive sample clean-up were needed to detect, identify and quantify endogenous 19-norandrosterone (with limits of detection needing to be ten times lower than routine testing i.e.

D.) Québec, Canada © Hui Han, 2018 Substrate inhibition of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in living cells and regulation among the steroid-converting enzymes in breast cancers Thèse Hui Han Sous la direction de : Sheng-xiang Lin, directeur de recherche RÉSUMÉ Cette étude a permis de démontrer les fonctions et les mécanismes de la 17bêta- hydroxystéroïde déshydrogénase de type 1 (17β-HSD1) et de la stéroïde sulfatase (STS) au niveau du cancer du sein, y compris la cinétique moléculaire et cellulaire, la liaison du ligand étudiée par la titration de fluorescence, la régulation des stéroïdes et la régulation mutuelle entre les enzymes stéroïdiennes et les cellules cancéreuses du sein. 1), L’inhibition de la 17β-HSD1 par son substrat a été démontrée par la cinétique enzymatique au niveau cellulaire pour la première fois, soutenant ainsi la fonction biologique de l’inhibition produite par le substrat. 2), En tant qu’inhibiteur, la dihydrotestostérone (DHT) n’a pas affecté la concentration du substrat estrone (E1) à laquelle l’activité enzymatique a commencé à diminuer, mais certaines augmentations de vitesse ont été observées, suggérant une diminution significative de l’inhibition par le substrat. 3), Les résultats de la modulation de l’ARNm ont démontré que la transcription du gène codant la 17β-HSD7 diminuait en réponse à l’inhibition de la 17β-HSD1 ou au knockdown dans les cellules du cancer du sein par la modification estradiol (E2).

  • Inhibition of Estrone Sulfate-Induced Uterine Growth by Potent Nonestrogenic Steroidal Inhibitors of Steroid Sulfatase1
    [CANCER RESEARCH 63, 6442–6446, October 1, 2003] Inhibition of Estrone Sulfate-induced Uterine Growth by Potent Nonestrogenic Steroidal Inhibitors of Steroid Sulfatase1 Liviu C. Ciobanu, Van Luu-The, Ce´line Martel, Fernand Labrie, and Donald Poirier2 Medicinal Chemistry Division, Oncology and Molecular Endocrinology Research Center, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Que´bec-Pavillon CHUL, and Universite´ Laval, Que´bec, G1V 4G2, Canada ABSTRACT thetic pathway accounts for the transformation of DHEAS into the estrogenic C19 steroid 5-diol. Thus, inhibition of steroid sulfatase, the The present study describes the biological in vitro and in vivo evaluation enzyme responsible for the conversion of DHEAS to dehydroepi- of 2-methoxy derivatives of estrogenic inhibitors of steroid sulfatase, androsterone and E StoE , may allow reduction of estrogen levels in namely 3-sulfamoyloxy-17␣-p-tert-butylbenzyl(or benzyl)-1,3,5 (10)- 1 1 estratrien-17␤-ols. The addition of the 2-methoxy group conserves the tumors and could represent a promising approach for the treatment of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer. potent inhibitory effect on steroid sulfatase activity (IC50s of 0.024 and 0.040 nM) while removing the estrogenic action. Using an ovariectomized Some of the most efficient steroid sulfatase inhibitors developed were mouse model, we show that the first generation of steroid sulfatase inhib- sulfamate derivatives (10–12). The first reported inhibitor in this series, itors tested, 3-sulfamoyloxy-17␣-p-tert-butylbenzyl(or benzyl)estra-1,3,5 estrone sulfamate (EMATE; Ref. 25, 26) is a very potent irreversible (10)-trien-17␤-ols and estrone-3-O-sulfamate, are estrogenic compounds inhibitor, but it is also an estrogenic compound (27), thus having less than stimulating estrogen-sensitive uterine growth.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
