Popis: 3-(4′-Aminophenyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (WSP3), a known reversible inhibitor of P450 aromatase, was modified using molecular graphics and our model of reversible inhibitor and substrate binding to resemble 10β-prop-2-ynylestr-4-ene-3,17-dione (PED), a mechanism-based inactivator of the enzyme. The analogues prepared were 3-substituted 3-(prop-2-enyl) or 3-(prop-2-ynyl) pyrrolidine-2,5-diones and their N-alkyl derivatives. The reported compounds demonstrated no irreversible (time-dependent) inhibition of the human placental P450 aromatase enzyme. However, some reversible activity was seen in several of the 3-(prop-2-ynyl) compounds.
