ABSTRACT:
Aromatase-inhibiting imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines I [R1 = H, (un)substituted alkyl, NO2, halogen, OH, SH, (un)substituted NH2, SO3H, CHO, C2-20 acyl, CO2H, etc.; R2 = H, (un)substituted alkyl, halogen, OH, SH, CO2H, acyl, etc.], their 7,8-dihydro derivs.; and fused imidazoles II (R1 and R2 as before; n = 0-4), their stereoisomers, or salts, useful in treating aromatase-related diseases such as gynecomastia and breast cancer, were prepd. The compds. inhibit the metabolic conversion of androgens to estrogens by prohibiting the cleavage of the cholesterol side chain. Thus, 5-(p-cyanophenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (III) was prepd. by reaction of 5-(p-carboxyphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine in C2H4Cl2 and concd. H2SO4, followed by addn. of HN3. A tablet was formulated contg. III 10, lactose 253.5, corn starch 12.5, PEG 6000 15, Mg stearate 4 mg and water q.s.
