Abstract
Small
alkyl groups and spirocyclic-aromatic rings directly attached
to the left side and right side of the 1,2,4-triazolopyridines (TZP),
respectively, were found to be potent and selective inhibitors of
human 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-type 1 (11β-HSD-1)
enzyme. 3-(1-(4-Chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl)-8-cyclopropyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-<i>a</i>]pyridine (<b>9f</b>) was identified as a potent
inhibitor of the 11β-HSD-1 enzyme with reduced Pregnane-X receptor
(PXR) transactivation activity. The binding orientation of this TZP
series was revealed by X-ray crystallography structure studies
