Abstract
The nuclear receptors are ideal targets to control the expression of specific genes with small molecules. Estrogen receptor can activate or repress transcription though a number of different pathways. As part of an effort to develop reagents that selectively target specific transcriptional regulatory pathways, analogs of 4-hydroxytamoxifen were synthesized with variations in the basic side chain. In vitro binding assays and cell-based luciferase reporter gene assays confirm that all the derivatives have high affinity for the receptor and high potency at repressing direct estrogen receptor-mediated transcription.
