Abstract : Aromatase is a key enzyme that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of estrogen and has a major effect in pathogenesis of estrogen-dependent disease, including breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and endometriosis. The abnormal over expression of aromatase can be inhibited by aromatase inhibitors. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the binding interaction of flavonoid compounds with cytochrome P450 enzyme aromatase, which is involved in the metabolism of estrogens and considered as a powerful target for treatment of estrogen-dependent breast cancers.
