Popis: In this work, we developed a small library of novel OBHS-RES hybrid compounds with dual inhibition activities targeting both the estrogen receptor α (ERα) and NF-κB by incorporating resveratrol (RES), a known inhibitor of NF-κB, into a privileged indirect antagonism structural motif (OBHS, oxabicycloheptene sulfonate) of estrogen receptor (ER). The OBHS-RES conjugates could bind well to ER and showed remarkable ERα antagonistic activity, and they also exhibited excellent NO inhibition in macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Compared with 4-hydroxytamoxifen, some of them showed better antiproliferative efficacy in MCF-7 cell lines with IC50 up to 3.7 μM. In vivo experiments in a MCF-7 breast cancer model in Balb/c nude mice indicated that compound 26a was more potent than tamoxifen. Exploration of the compliancy of the structure against ER specificity utilizing these types of isomeric three-dimensional ligands indicated that one enantiomer had much better biological activity than the other.
