Popis: Human estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is considered an important target, especially in the treatment of breast cancer, as it has a vital role in cancer development. ERα-targeted therapies generally target the ligand binding domain (LBD) of ERα. However, over time, cells develop resistance to this mechanism alternative approaches to inhibit ERα activity target ERα–DNA or ERα–cofactor interactions. Inhibitors of ERα–cofactor interactions are designed by targeting the hydrophobic hollow region of the receptor box LXXLL motif.
