Assessment of the inhibitory potential of anabolic steroids towards human AKR1D1 by computational methods and in vitro evaluation.

Abstract excerpt

Exposure to xenobiotics can adversely affect biochemical reactions, including hepatic bile acid synthesis. Bile acids are essential for dissolving lipophilic compounds in the hydrophilic environment of the gastrointestinal tract. The critical micellar concentration of bile acids depends on the Δ4-reduction stereochemistry, with the 3-oxo-5β-steroid-Δ4-dehydrogenase (AKR1D1) introducing the cis ring A/B...
