Abstract

Antiestrogen therapy is the most widely used endocrine manipulation for the treatment of breast cancer, especially in postmenopausal women. Unfortunately, the compounds presently available possess mixed agonistic/antagonistic activity, thus potentially limiting their therapeutic efficacy. Following the observations that an aliphatic chain at the 7 alpha-position of 17 beta-estradiol does not prevent binding to the estrogen receptor while halogenation of estradiol can increase the affinity of its binding (expressed as RBA) to the estrogen receptor, we have synthesized a series of new steroidal antiestrogens (6-10) which possess both an 7 alpha-undecanamide group and an halogen atom (Cl, Br, or I) at the 16 alpha-position. The stereochemistry of these compounds was unambiguously established by high-field (400-MHz) nuclear magnetic resonance. Some of the compounds obtained possess potent in vivo antiestrogenic activity. At the low twice daily 3-micrograms dose, 16 alpha-chloro 3,17 beta-diol amide, 16 alpha-iodo 3,17 beta-diol amide, 16 alpha-bromo 3,17 beta-diol amide, 16 alpha-chloro 3,17 alpha-diol amide, and 16 alpha-bromo 3,17 alpha-diol amide inhibit by 74, 63, 52, 35, and 60%, respectively, the estradiol-induced stimulation of uterine weight in ovariectomized Balb/c mice while 78-99% blockade of estradiol action is achieved at the 20-micrograms dose. These new antiestrogens show no estrogenic activity on uterine weight at the doses used while tamoxifen (2-[4-(1,2-diphenyl-1-butenyl)phenoxy]-N,N- dimethylethanamine) shows full estrogenic activity and is only a weak partial antiestrogen in the same assay.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
