Abstract

A library of bis-sulfonamides (9-26) were synthesized and tested for their aromatase inhibitory activities. Interestingly, all bis-sulfonamide derivatives inhibited the aromatase with IC<sub>50</sub> range of 0.05-11.6 μM except for compound 23. The analogs 15 and 16 bearing hydrophobic chloro and bromo groups exhibited the potent aromatase inhibitory activity in sub-micromolar IC<sub>50</sub> values (i.e., 50 and 60 nM, respectively) with high safety index. Molecular docking revealed that the chloro and bromo benzenesulfonamides (15 and 16) may play role in the hydrophobic interaction with Leu477 of the aromatase to mimic steroidal backbone of the natural substrate, androstenedione. QSAR study also revealed that the most potent activity of compounds was governed by van der Waals volume (GATS6v) and mass (Mor03m) descriptors. Finally, the two compounds (15 and 16) were highlighted as promising compounds to be further developed as novel aromatase inhibitors.
