Abstract

- Equine glutathione transferase A3-3 (EcaGST A3-3) belongs to the superfamily of detoxifying enzymes found in all organisms. However it is also the most efficient steroid double-bond isomerase known in mammals. In contrast to the rodents, Equus ferus caballus shares the steroidogenic pathway with Homo sapiens, which makes it a more suitable model for human steroidogenesis than the murine one. Inhibition of EcaGST A3-3 might help treat reproductive and neurodegenerative disorders. We screened an FDA-approved library of 1040 compounds for the ability as novel inhibitors of EcaGST A3-3. Our results revealed anthralin, sennoside A, tannic acid and ethacrynic acid as the most potent, submicromolar-range inhibitors of EcaGST A3-3 with the natural substrate Δ5-androstene-3,17-dione.
