wherein R1 to R4 are as defined in the claims. The invention further relates to their use as inhibitors of 17β-HSD1 and in treatment or prevention of steroid hormone dependent diseases or disorders, such as steroid hormone dependent diseases or disorders requiring the inhibition of the 17β-HSD1 enzyme and/or requiring the lowering of the endogenous estradiol concentration. The present invention also relates to the preparation of the aforementioned compounds and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising as an active ingredient(s) one or more of the afore-mentioned compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

The present disclosure provides for a synthetic strategy to incorporate a C12α-hydroxy group from the methylene (—CH2-) in a steroid backbone, combining synthetic chemistry and enzymology techniques to develop a selective inhibitor for cytochrome P450 8B1, and developing a selective P450 8B1 inhibitor, which can be used as a tool to study P450 8B1 and treat health issues.

This disclosure relates to progesterone phosphate derivatives and uses related thereto. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to compounds disclosed herein and uses for managing inflammation such as those resulting from traumatic brain injury or stroke.

Described herein are novel, macrophage targeting drug conjugates. The macrophage targeting drug conjugates comprise a drug moiety, a mannose moiety, and a linker connecting the drug moiety and the mannose moiety. The linker may comprise a hydrazone group or an oxime group.

This disclosure relates to progesterone derivatives and uses related thereto. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to compounds disclosed herein and uses for managing inflammation resulting from traumatic brain injury or stroke.

Provided are androstane and dihydrotestosterone compounds functionalized with carbocyclic groups or heterocyclic groups that may be saturated or unsaturated. The compounds may be used in methods of inhibiting cell growth of malignant cells and/or hyperplastic cells and/or treating individuals having diseases associated with malignant cell growth (e.g., cancer, such as, for example, prostate cancer) and/or hyperplastic cell growth and/or molecular imaging of malignant cells and/or hyperplastic cells and/or inducing degradation of a target protein. Also provided are compositions.

This disclosure relates to progesterone derivatives and uses related thereto. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to compounds disclosed herein and uses for managing inflammation resulting from traumatic brain injury or stroke.
