In continuation of Our previous work, several 1- alkyl-2,3,5-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)aryl-1H-pyrroles with chlor-Me or fluorine substituents in the aryl residues were synthesized and tested for estrogen receptor (ER) binding at isolated ER alpha/ER beta. receptors (HAP assay), and. in trans activation assays using ER alpha-positive MCF-7/2a as well as U2-OS/ER alpha and U2-OS/ER beta cells. In the competition experiment at ER alpha the compounds displayed very high relative binding-affinities of up to 37% (determined for 8m) but with restricted subtype selectivity (e.g., ER alpha/ER beta (8ma) = 9). The highest estrogenic potency in ER alpha-positive MCP-7/2a cells was determined for 2,3,5-tris(2-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-prolayl-1H-pyriole 8m (EC50 = 23 nM), while in U2-OS/ER alpha cells 2-(2-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-3,5-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H propyl-1H pyrrole 8b (EC50 = 0.12 nM) was the Most potent agonist, only 30 fold less active than estradiol (E2, EC50 = 0.004 nM). In U2-OS/ER beta cells for all pyrroles no transactivation could be observed, which indicates that they are selective ER alpha agonists in Cellular systems.
