Estrogen receptor ligands: design and synthesis of new 2-arylindene-1-ones

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Jun 15;15(12):3137-42. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.04.013.

Abstract

The syntheses of a series of 2-arylindene-1-ones as potent ligands of ERbeta and ERalpha are described. Several compounds exhibited high potency and moderate selectivity for the ERbeta receptor. X-ray and modeling studies were used to understand ligand binding orientation and observed affinity.
