Despite intensive research efforts, the distinct biological roles of two closely related estrogen receptors, ERα and ERβ, are only partially understood. Therefore, ligands selective for either of two isotypes are useful research tools because they allow for exerting a desired subset of biological effects mediated by only one of the receptors. Here we report on the synthesis of a new class of potent and selective ligands for ERα represented by a series of 17α-substituted estradiols bearing lipophilic perfluoroalkyl chains. These 17α-perfluoroalkylated estradiols were synthesized by Ru-catalyzed cross metathesis reactions of 17α-allyl- or 17α-vinylestradiols with perfluoroalkylpropenes. Compounds were tested in both agonistic and antagonistic modes using a panel of stable steroid receptor reporter cell lines established in U2OS cells and consisting of ERα-LBD, ERβ-LBD, GR-LBD, and MR-LBD reporters. Some of the compounds are potent and selective agonists of ERα, exhibiting weak partial to no detectable agonistic activity on ERβ. Notably, 11c is the most ERα selective ligand of the prepared compounds because it activates ERα but inhibits ERβ. In addition, some compounds are pure agonists on ERα but show mixed agonistic/antagonistic profile on ERβ which is a typical pattern observed for selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs).
Synthesis of 17-dihydroisoxazolyl steroids of the androstane and estrone series

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to 17β-hydroxy-17α-vinyl steroids of the estrone series proceeds both regio- and stereoselectively. The stereoselectivity of the process decreases in going to steroids of the androstane series. The major epimer has S configuration of the new chiral center.

The electroreduction of some difficult to reduce substrates was investigated by using aqueous tetrahydrofuran, tetrabutylammonium (TBA+) electrolyte, and mercury cathodes.The reduction products formed in high yields and the current efficiencies were good.Benzene, anisole, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-methoxynaphthalene and β-estradiol 3-methyl ether reactions were carried out with constant current at room temperature and were found to be more selective than the corresponding alkali metal-ammonia reductions.Selective reduction of the carbonyl function of estrone methyl ether was achieved while the aromatic ring remained intact.The aqueous THF medium did not affect base-sensitive molecules and a reduction product from 17-α-ethynylestradiol 3-methyl ether could be obtained without loss of the ethynyl group.Most of the compounds studied did not exhibit polarographic waves.A reduction product of TBA+ was observed by cyclic voltammetry and it is proposed that TBA "amalgam" may participate as a mediator in the reduction of the organic substrates.
