Abstract:
The thesis concerns the use of different enzyme classes (namely, oxidoreductases, transferases, and hydrolases) as biocatalysts to achieve the chemo-, regio- and stereo-selective green synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant compounds. The main work has been done with hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, redox enzymes that naturally work on steroids, which were studied with two main purposes: to shorten the synthesis of valuable bile acids already sold as drugs or with potential biomarker application, and to synthesize active pharmaceutical ingredients of non-steroidal nature.

Abstract:
Glucocorticoid production by the adrenal gland is regulated by hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal (HPA) axis activity. Within cells, glucocorticoid levels are modulated by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD), which interconverts active and intrinsically inert glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids have widespread physiological effects and, in the cardiovascular system, they play a crucial role in heart development and maturation, blood pressure control, and myocardial calcium cycling.

Abstract:
Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of novel inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 which convert androstenedione into testosterone, which is then converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This isozyme has been implicated in the growth of prostate cancer. Using an in silico pharmacophore model initial targets were planned, based around a diphenylether hydrophobic head linked to a 4-substituted piperidine ring. Over 45 compounds were synthesised and many show significant biological activity when evaluated in a 17β-HSD type 3 biological assay. The most potent compound in

Abstract:
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a worldwide health problem which includes steatosis (triglyceride accumulation alone), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, with liver inflammation), fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver fibrosis, which is a reversible response, is the final phase of most chronic liver disease and is characterized by accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) from activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Glucocorticoids (GCs) regulate many aspects of metabolism involved in NAFLD. Also, GCs limit HSC activation in vitro. Tissue GC levels are regula

Abstract:
The enzyme 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) catalyses the intracellular biosynthesis of the active glucocorticoid cortisol. Tissue specific dysregulation of the enzyme has been implicated in the development of metabolic syndrome and other associated diseases. Experiments with transgenic mice and prototype inhibitors show that inhibition of 11β-HSD1 in visceral adipose tissue and liver leads to a resistance of diet-induced hyperglycemia and a favourable lipid and lipoprotein profile as compared to controls. 11β-HSD1 inhibition has thus been proposed as an effective strategy to decr

Abstract:
Androgens play an important part in the initiation and progression of hormone-dependent prostate and breast cancer. These types of cancers can be treated by androgen ablation therapy. However, androgen ablation is associated with short (2-3 years) remission of the disease. Therefore therapies that inhibit the systemic biosynthesis of androgens, by targeting the P450 enzymes (CYP17 and 17-[beta]HSD type 3) which catalyse androgen biosynthesis, may represent a rational approach in the treatment of androgen-dependent cancer. Inhibitors of the enzyme CYP17: ketoconazole and liarozole, have been sh

Abstract:
Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that have potent anti-inflammatory actions. Endogenous glucocorticoid action is modulated by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) which catalyses the interconversion of active glucocorticoids (cortisol, corticosterone) and intrinsically inert forms (cortisone, 11-dehydrocorticosterone). There are 2 isozymes; 11β-HSD type 1 regenerates active glucocorticoids in vivo whereas 11β-HSD type 2 inactivates glucocorticoids. Although 11β-HSD1 is highly expressed in the lung, its role there has been little explored. In this study, the expression and localizatio

Capítulo I O cancro da mama é o cancro mais comum entre as mulheres. Neste contexto, diversos estudos evidenciam que entre 40 a 60% de todos os cancros da mama são considerados hormono-dependentes, dependendo principalmente de 17β-estradiol para o seu desenvolvimento. No corpo humano, este estrogénio é originado maioritariamente a partir da estrona, um estrogénio com baixa atividade estrogénica, pela ação da enzima 17β-hidroxiesteroide desidrogenase tipo 1 (17β-HSD-1).
