In order to search for alternatives to the sulfoxide moiety in the long side chain of pure antiestrogens, several molecules that may interact with water in a fashion similar to ICI164,384 were designed and it was found that compounds with the carboxy, the sulfamide, or the sulfonamide instead of the sulfoxide moiety also functioned as pure antiestrogens. Interestingly, the compound possessing the carboxy moiety showed superior antiestrogen activity compared to ICI182,780 when dosed orally. Results of the pharmacokinetic evaluation indicated that the potent antiestrogen activity at oral dosing attributed to both the improved absorption from the intestinal wall and the metabolic stability of the compound in liver.

Selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) deplete the ER signaling pathway via antagonism and degradation of ERα and represent a promising strategy to tackle endocrine resistance. Here, we report a new class of SERDs by pharmacological evolution of a selective estrogen receptor modulator, lasofoxifene. The structure-activity relationship study and efforts to circumvent the issue of human ether-a-go-go-related gene led to the identification of compounds .

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 6-20% of women worldwide, with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia occurring in 50-70% of patients. Hyperinsulinemia exacerbates oxidative stress, contributing to PCOS pathogenesis. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant and insulin sensitizer that shows promise as a therapeutic for PCOS.

A novel fungal diglycosidase that transforms naringin into naringenin and neohesperidose, a rare biotransformation, has been purified to homogeneity using a simple procedure involving precipitation of the enzyme from the culture filtrate of the fungal strain using 80 % saturation of ammonium sulphate, dissolving the precipitate in minimum volume of the buffer and dialysing that against the buffer. The purified enzyme gives single protein bands of molecular mass 64.6 kDa in SDS-PAGE analysis.

The clinical utility of raloxifene (RLX), a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), has been compromised by severe side effects and unfavorable drug properties. To address these, a transferrin (Tf) conjugated graphene oxide nanoribbon (GONR) platform was tried for RLX. The stability of GONRs in biological media was improved by surface modification with 1, 2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphoethanolamine-Poly (ethylene glycol) (DSPE-PEG).

Article Synopsis
- Previous studies show that synthetic glyceollins I and II have antiestrogenic and antiproliferative effects on breast cancer cells through various pathways.
- This study explored the antitumor effects of glyceollins derived from fermented soybean extracts in vivo, finding significant reductions in cell migration and estrogen-dependent tumor growth in both chick eggs and nude mice.
- The results indicate that natural glyceollins may reduce tumor angiogenesis and volume, suggesting their potential as therapies for breast cancer.
