“…AKR1C3 is inhibited by several classes of AKR1C3 inhibitors, including cinnamic acid (Brozic et al, 2006a), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and their derivatives (Gobec et al, 2005; Byrns et al, 2008; Liedtke et al, 2013), steroid hormone analoges (Bydal et al, 2009), flavonoids (Skarydova et al, 2009), cyclopentanes (Stefane et al, 2009), benzoic acids (Adeniji et al, 2011; Jamieson et al, 2012), progestins (Beranic et al, 2011), baccharin analogs (Zang et al, 2015), ruthenium complexes (Kljun et al, 2016), and the most widely used anti-diabetes drugs, sulfonylureas (Zhao et al, 2015). Most inhibitors of AKR1C3 are carboxylic acids, whose transport into cells is likely dominated by carrier-mediated processes.…”
