Discovery and development of steroidal aromatase inhibitors : ウィキペディア英語版 | Discovery and development of steroidal aromatase inhibitors Aromatase inhibitors are a class of drugs that are mostly used for treating breast cancer in postmenopausal women. High levels of estrogen in breast tissue increases the risk of developing breast cancer and the enzyme Aromatase is good therapeutic target when treating breast cancer due to it being involved in the final step of estrogen biosynthetic pathway and also its inhibitation will not affect production of other steroids. Aromatase Inhibitors are classified into two categories based on their structure, Nonsteroidal and Steroidal which structure resembles the build of androstenedione.〔Ahmad, I., & Shagufta. (2015). Recent developments in steroidal and nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors for the chemoprevention of estrogen-dependent breast cancer. European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 102, 375-386. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmech.2015.08.010〕 Steroidal aromatase inhibitors irreversibly inhibit the enzyme by binding covalently to the binding site of aromatase so the substrate can't access it.〔 == History ==
