Description: | A cell-permeable 3-phenyl-aminobenzoate compound that acts as a potent, competitive, reversible, active-site targeting inhibitor of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3; type 5 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) (IC50 = 2.65µM) with excellent selectivity over other closely related human AKR isoforms (IC50 = 2.65µM, 84.4µM, for AKR1C3, AKR1C2, respectively. Exhibits a weak inhibitory effect on cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (IC50 = 100 µM). Shown to efficiently block the AKR1C3-mediated production of testosterone in LNCaP-AKR1C3 cells. |
