6H-Benzo[c]chromen-6-one derivatives as selective ERβ agonists
摘要:
A series of 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one and 6H-benzo[c]chromene derivatives were prepared, and the affinity and selectivity for ER alpha and ER beta was measured. Many of the analogs were found to be potent and selective ER beta agonists. Bis hydroxyl at positions 3 and 8 is essential for activity in a HTRF coactivator recruitment assay. Additional modifications at both phenyl rings led to compounds with ER beta < 10 nM potency and > 100-fold selectivity over ER alpha. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
