Biochem/physiol Actions

The major estrogen secreted by the premenopausal ovary. Estrogens direct the development of the female phenotype in embryogenesis and during puberty by regulating gene transcription and, thus, protein synthesis. It also induces the production of gonadotropins which, in turn, induce ovulation. Exposure to estradiol increases breast cancer incidence and proliferation.

A series of ruthenocene derivatives, 1-[4-(O(CH(2))(n)()N(CH(3))(2))phenyl]-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-ruthenocenylbut-1-ene, with n = 2-5, based on the structure of the breast cancer drug tamoxifen has been prepared. These compounds were obtained, via a McMurry cross-coupling reaction, as a mixture of Z and E isomers

The structure- and chemistry-based hierarchical organization of library scaffolds in tree-like arrangements provides a valid, intuitive means to map and navigate chemical space. We demonstrate that scaffold trees built using bioactivity as the key selection criterion for structural simplification during
