[Display omitted] • Synthesis of 21 tricyclic and tetracyclic sulfamates as STS inhibitors. • Design novel nonsteroidal tetracyclic coumarin skeleton for STS inhibition. • Para substitutions at the phenyl ring of tricyclic analogs gave the best STS inhibition. • 9e and 10c had k inact / K I of 28.6 and 19.1 nM−1min−1 on human STS, respectively. • Cytotoxicity of 9e (IC 50 of 0.65 µM) and 10c (IC 50 of 4.7 µM) on T-47D cells. Inhibition of steroid sulfatase (STS) decreases estrogen production and thus, suppresses tumor proliferation. Inspired by irosustat, the first STS inhibitor in clinical trials, we explored twenty-one tricyclic and tetra-heterocyclic coumarin–based derivatives. Their STS enzyme kinetic parameters, docking models, and cytotoxicity toward breast cancer and normal cells were evaluated. Tricyclic derivative 9e and tetracyclic derivative 10c were the most promising irreversible inhibitors developed in this study, with K I of 0.05 and 0.4 nM, and k inact / K I ratios of 28.6 and 19.1 nM−1min−1 on human placenta STS, respectively.
