PG - 4174-8 LID - S0960-894X(15)00831-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bmcl.2015.08.007 [doi] AB - Candidates for highly selective estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) ligands (6a-c, 7a-c, 8a and 8b) were designed and synthesized based on carborane-containing ER ligands 1 and 2 as lead compounds. Among them, p-carboranylcyclohexanol derivatives 8a and 8b exhibited high ERbeta selectivity in competitive binding assay: for example, 8a showed 56-fold selectivity for ERbeta over ERalpha. Docking studies of 8a and 8b with the ERalpha and ERbeta ligand-binding domains (LBDs) suggested that the p-carborane cage of the ligands is located close to key amino acid residues that influence ER-subtype selectivity, that is, Leu384 in the ERalpha LBD and Met336 in the ERbeta LBD. The p-carborane cage in 8a and 8b appears to play a crucial role in the increased ERbeta selectivity. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
