Popis: | A series of 7 alpha-undecylestradiol derivatives, featuring various substituents at the end of the undecyl spacer chain, were synthesized and evaluated for their interaction with the estrogen receptor and nonreceptor sites. Their relative binding affinities (RBA) for calf uterine estrogen receptors were measured by competitive binding assays and varied between 0.5 and 8.4% of that of unlabeled 17 beta-estradiol. Enhanced lipophilicity and steric hindrance of the substituent on the end of the spacer chain resulted in decreased binding affinity for the estrogen receptor, while interactions with nonreceptor sites increased. RBA values were not affected by prolonged incubation times, suggesting a stable ligand-receptor complex. The potential to use the 7 alpha-undecylestradiol as a vector for site-selective delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic moieties to estrogen-receptor-positive human cancers is discussed. |
