Title:
The discovery of tetrahydrofluorenones as a new class of estrogen receptor beta-subtype selective ligands.
Journal:
Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Jul 1;16(13):3489-94. Epub 2006 May 2.
Abstract:
Synthesis and derivatization of a series of substituted tetrahydrofluorenone analogs giving potent, ERbeta subtype selective ligands are described. Several analogs possessing ERbeta binding affinities comparable to 17beta-estradiol but with greater than 75-fold selectivity over ERalpha are reported.
