Abstract

Estradiol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.62) is a pyridine-nucleotide-dependent enzyme that interconverts estradiol and estrone.1 Because estradiol is more potent than estrone, this enzyme may serve to modulate estrogenic potency in vivo. Also, the role of the enzyme in reproductive endocrinology and in estrogen-dependent neoplasms is of widespread interest. Consequently, we have been involved in the development of inhibitors of estradiol dehydrogenase.
