The synthesis, receptor binding affinity, estrogenic potency and tissue distribution of the 7alpha-cyano derivatives of the (17alpha,20E/Z)-[125I]iodovinyl-(CIVE) and 16alpha-[125I]iodo-estradiols (CIE) are reported. The iodovinyl derivatives were prepared via the (17alpha,20E/Z)-tri-n-butylstannyl intermediates, derived from the addition of tri-n-butyl tin hydride to the 17alpha-ethynyl group of the 7alpha-cyano-17alpha-ethynylestradiol, using triethylborane as a catalyst. The no-carrier-added [125I]-CIVE isomers were prepared via the same stereospecific reaction. [125I]-CIE was prepared from 7alpha-cyano-16beta-bromoestradiol via halogen exchange with Na125I. Addition of the 7alpha-cyano group to 16alpha-iodoestradiol did not affect estrogen receptor binding affinity (RBA of CIE is 115). However the estrogenic potential of CIE, as measured by the capacity to stimulate the expression of the pS2 gene, was reduced to 1% as compared to that of estradiol. Addition of a 7alpha-cyano group to the (17alpha,20E/Z)-IVE isomers reduced the RBA to 21 and 36, respectively, while the estrogenic potential was reduced to 2-3% of that of estradiol. Uterus uptake in immature rats of the 125I-labeled CIVE 20E-isomer and the 16alpha-iodo CIE peaked at 0.5h post injection while the (17alpha,20Z)-CIVE isomer showed a maximum only past 5h post injection. Uptake of all three 125I-labeled 7alpha-cyanoestrogens was suppressed by the co-injection of non-radioactive estradiol confirming the role of estrogen receptors in the localization process. Uterus retention pattern differ substantially from those of the analogues 7alpha-methylestrogens, which were previously shown to give high maximum 125I-uptake values at 2h post injection. Overall our data indicate that addition of a 7alpha-cyano group to 123I-labeled estrogens does not improve their potential to serve as SPECT agents for the imaging of estrogen receptor densities in breast cancer.

In this work, 52 diphenyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles and -3-hydroxy ketones were prepared and their estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) activities were explored in order to systematize and maximize their biological activity. The biological activity was firstly screened by using ERE reporter assay to find out how aromatic hydroxylation and methylation of the chiral centers of the compounds affect the ability of ER to mediate biological responses. For selected 19 compounds, the relative binding affinities (RBA, relative to 3,17beta-estradiol) and ability to induce transcription of primary E2 target gene pS2 in human MCF-7 breast cancer cells were determined. In the reporter assay, many compounds showed even stronger activity than E2 and some of them showed RBA larger than 1%. The highest RBAs were determined for the enantiomers of 1-hydroxy-6-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1-phenyl-hexan-3-one (50a and 50b). Isomer 50a showed high binding affinity both to ERalpha (with RBA approximately 200%) and ERbeta (with RBA approximately 60%), while the RBAs of 50b were ca. 40% of those. Some of the other compounds (with RBA approximately 1-16%) showed also notable ERalpha binding selectivity. When four most promising ligands (50a, 50b, 45a, and 45b) were studied with respect to their ability to induce the transcription of primary E2 target gene pS2, the compounds acted as agonists or partial agonists. Computer modeling was used to predict receptor binding conformations and to rationalize the RBA differences of the compounds.
