Two series of 1,2-disubstituted imidazolylmethylcyclopentanol derivatives (5a-d, 10a-d) were prepared by using easily available methyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate as the starting material. Evaluation of the aromatase inhibitory activities in vitro was performed. Their activities were compared with those of a steroidal aromatase
