4-(1-benzoylindol-3-yl)butyric acids and FK143: Novel nonsteroidal inhibitors of steroid 5α-reductase (II)
A novel series of indolebutyric acids with varying benzoyl substituents were synthesized to develop nonsteroidal inhibitors of steroid 5α-reductase. We previously reported the discovery of a novel nonsteroidal 5α-reductase inhibitor, FR119680, which had a
