Abstract
We report the results of our study into a series of 3,5-dibrominated derivatives of esters of 4- [(aminosulfonyl)oxy]benzoate as potential inhibitors of estrone sulfatase (ES). The results suggest that the compounds are weak inhibitors as a result of the incorporation of the bromine atoms which reduce the stability of the compound.
