PG - 32-40 LID - S0039-128X(16)30168-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.steroids.2016.11.005 [doi] AB - Series of estrone based analogs were synthetically investigated at positions C-9, C-11, C-16, and C-17 positions, to be biologically evaluated via assessment of cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, and estrogenic/anti-estrogenic activity. LA-7 and LA-10 revealed their potential to exhibit inhibitory estrogenic profile. This was further validated by Estrogen Receptor-alpha (ER-alpha) and Estrogen Receptor-beta (ER-beta) competitive binding assays to reveal the high selective affinity of LA-7 towards ER-alpha at 5.49muM, while LA-10 did not show any binding affinity towards neither ER-alpha nor ER-beta; suggesting another mechanism for inhibition. This was validated by in silico molecular docking simulations of LA-7 to reveal the optimum binding affinity of LA-7 towards ER-alpha. CI - Copyright (c) 2016. Published by Elsevier Inc.
