Abstract

A series of 3-carboxymethyl steroids has been prepared and assayed in vitro as inhibitors of steroid 5α-reductase isolated from human prostatic tissue. Potent inhibition was observed with analogs from both androstene and estratriene families. Phosphonic and sulfonic acid analogs were also prepared and found to lack significant inhibitory activity.
