Abstract

Novel diphenylamine-type Estrogen Receptor ligands were designed and synthesized, and their biological activities were evaluated by means of binding assays for estrogen receptor-alpha and -beta and cell proliferation assay using MCF-7 cells. Compounds 4f, 11b, 12c, and 8 showed moderate estrogenic activities. We propose that the diphenylamine skeleton may be a privileged structure for various nuclear receptor ligands, including RAR, RXR, and AR ligands.
