Conversion of the phytoestrogen coumestrol into a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) by attachment of an amine-containing sidechain
摘要:
The naturally occurring estrogen mimetic coumestrol has been shown to stimulate proliferation of MCF-7 mammary tumor cells and to cause uterotrophic effects in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Attachment of a basic amine-containing sidechain to C-6 of coumestrol converts this estrogen agonist into an antagonist in breast and uterine tissue, while maintaining its estrogen-like activity as a hypocholesterolemic agent.

The 2-arylbenzothiophene raloxifene, 1, is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) which is currently under clinical evaluation for the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. In vivo structure-activity relationships and molecular modeling studies have indicated that the orientation of the basic amine-containing side chain of 1, relative to the stilbene plane, is an important discriminating factor for the maintenance of tissue selectivity. We have constructed a series of analogues of 1 in which this side chain is held in an orientation which is orthogonal to the stilbene plane, similar to the low-energy conformation predicted for raloxifene. Herein, we report on the synthesis of these compounds and on their activity in a series of in vitro and in vivo biological assays reflective of the SERM profile. In particular, we describe their ability to (I) bind the estrogen receptor, (2) antagonize estrogen-stimulated proliferation of MCF-7 cells in vitro, (3) stimulate TGF-beta 3 gene expression in cell culture, (4) inhibit the uterine effects of ethynyl estradiol in immature rats, and (5) potently reduce serum cholesterol and protect against osteopenia in ovariectomized (OVX) rats without estrogen-like stimulation of uterine tissue. These data demonstrate that one of these compounds, LY357489, 4, is among the most potent SERMs described to date with in vivo efficacy on bone and cholesterol metabolism in OVX rats at doses as low as 0.01 mg/kg/d.
