The present invention concerns a method of treatment or prevention of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by diagnosing that a person is in need of treatment or prevention of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and administering a therapeutically effective amount of a ligand which modulates NF-kB transcription factor by interaction with estrogen receptor ER-α, estrogen receptor ER-β, or both ER-α and ER-β estrogen receptors with a substantial absence of creatine kinase stimulation. In certain preferred embodiments, the administration is substantially without uterotropic activity.
This invention provides a compound of formulae (I) or (II) having the structure
