In vitro antioxidant effects of estrogens with a hindered 3-OH function on the copper-induced oxidation of low density lipoprotein
摘要:
Estrogens with some bulky alkyl substituents in both the 2- and 4-positions have been synthesized and evaluated for the ability to inhibit the in vitro oxidation of low density lipoprotein as determined by the thiobarbituric reactive substances method. The present compounds with bulky groups in either the 2- or the 4-position (but not both the 2- and 4-) were especially effective as antioxidants, having IC50 values lower than either estradiol or probucol; however, they do not bind to the estrogen receptor with any great affinities (RBA < 0.1 versus estradiol). This separation of antioxidant efficacy from estrogenicity may allow these compounds to serve as useful probes for ascertaining the relative importance of these effects in the cardioprotective role played by estrogens.

The present invention is directed to a process for conferring cytoprotection on a population of cells which comprises administering to that population of cells a compound comprising a hydroxy-substituted aromatic ring structure and a non-fused polycyclic, hydrophobic substituent attached thereto. In particular, the present invention is directed to such a process wherein the administered compound is phenolic, such as a steriod (e.g., estrogen), and has a non-fused polycyclic, hydrophobic substituent attached to the hydroxy-substituted A-ring thereof.
