Table 3.
In vitro inhibition of aromatase activities by the test compounds and reference agents. Relative conversions (Rel. conv., control incubation with no inhibition is 100%) measured in the presence of 10 μM concentration of the compound tested. Mean ± SD, n = 3. IC50: inhibitor concentration decreasing the enzyme activity to 50%. SD: standard deviation.
