Novel selective CYP11B1 Inhibitors
Scientists of Saarland University have recently succeeded in developing the first CYP11B1 inhibitors showing good selectivity. As starting point the highly active CYP11B1 inhibitor Etomidate has been used. Via several modifications followed by further optimizations realized at this molecule, it was possible to increase the selectivity resulting in a very weak inhibition towards CYP11B2 and no inhibition of CYP17 and CYP19.
