Flexible Estrogen Receptor Modulators: Design, Synthesis, and Antagonistic Effects in Human MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells
摘要:
Although many series of estrogen receptor antagonists continue to be produced, the majority are direct structural analogues of existing modulators. To examine the tolerance of the estrogen receptor toward flexible ligands, a series of novel flexible estrogen receptor antagonists were prepared and their antiproliferative effects on human MCF-7 breast tumor cells investigated. Each of these compounds deviated from the traditional triphenylethylene backbone associated with common tamoxifen analogues through the introduction of a flexible methylene (benzylic) spacing group between one of the aryl rings and the ethylene group and through variations in the basic side chain moiety. The compounds prepared, when assayed in conjunction with a tamoxifen standard, demonstrated high potency in antiproliferative assays against an MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line with low cytotoxicity and high binding affinity. A computational study was undertaken to investigate the compounds ' potential interactions with specific residues within the human estrogen receptor a ligand-binding domain (ER-LBD), predicting these compounds bind in an antiestrogenic fashion within the ER-LBD and interact with those important residues previously identified in the structures of ER-LBD agonist/antagonist cocrystals. These compounds further illustrate the eclectic nature of the estrogen receptor in terms of ligand flexibility tolerance.

SnCl4–Zn complex provided a novel reductive system in the deoxygenative cross-coupling of aliphatic, aromatic, chalcone epoxide and indanone carbonyl compounds to olefins in high yield (55–86%) at reflux temperature in THF. The advantage of this reagent is inexpensive, short reaction time, and high yield compared to the reagents used in the McMurry cross-coupling reaction.

Flavone–estradiol adducts and indanophen based tamoxifen analogs are synthesized using SnCl4–Zn reagent via McMurry reaction and evaluated in human cervical (HeLa) and breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) for the anti-proliferative activity.
Estrogen receptor modulators, compositions comprising the compounds and methods relating to the use thereof are described. The compounds may be used in inhibiting the proliferation of and/or induces apoptosis in human breast cancer cells.
