Abstract: We report the results of the synthesis and biochemical evaluation of esters of 4-[(aminosulfonyl)oxy]benzoate as potential inhibitors of estrone sulfatase (ES). Modelling the compounds shows that steric interaction between the inhibitor and the active site is a major factor responsible for the weak inhibitory activity observed within the synthesised compounds.
