A novel dimer of 2‐(4‐pyridylmethyl)‐1‐indanone ( 2 ) was obtained while carrying out aldol condensation of 1‐indanone with pyridine‐4‐carboxaldehyde in potas sium hydroxide. The structure of dimer 3 has been established using various spectral techniques and was screened for its ability to inhibit the cytochrome P 450 enzyme aromatase. The dimer showed strong inhibition of human placental aromatase and was found 3 times more potent (RP = 3, IC 50 = 10.2 μM) as compared to aminoglutethimide (RP = 1, IC 50 = 18.5 μM
