The fast, efficient, and functional group tolerant last-step radiolabeling of bioconjugates is crucial for positron emission tomography (PET) applications. In this context, o-iodobenzyl alcohol based structures were identified as ideal tags for an easy Pd-catalyzed carbonylation after bioconjugation, and a moxestrol-conjugated precursor was chosen as the model compound for the further studies. Despite scale and time constraints, conditions developed with [C]CO and [C]CO were easily transferred to the C isotope, and the desired radioactive product was obtained in amounts up to 740 MBq with radiochemical purities higher than 99%.

Estrogen receptors (ERs) are steroid receptors located in the cytoplasm and on the nuclear membrane. The sequence similarities of human ERα, mouse ERα, rat ERα, dog ERα, and cat ERα are above 90%, but structures of ERα may different among species. Estrogen can be agonist and antagonist depending on its target organs.

During an egg-laying cycle, oviparous animals transfer massive amounts of triglycerides, the major lipid component of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), from the liver to the developing oocytes. A major stimulus for this process is the rise in estrogen associated with the onset of an egg-laying cycle. In mammals, the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) is required for VLDL assembly and secretion.

The nuclear receptors, steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) play important functions in mediating lipid and drug metabolism in the liver. The present study demonstrates modulatory actions of estrogen in transactivations of SXR-mediated liver X receptor response element (LXRE) and CAR-mediated phenobarbital response element (PBRU). When human estrogen receptor (hERα) and SXR were exogenously expressed, treatment with either rifampicin or corticosterone promoted significantly the SXR-mediated transactivation of LXRE reporter gene in HepG2.

However, the literary data concerning the influence of estrogens on the cardio-vascular system are quite controversial. For instance there is no certain opinion in the literature concerning influence of estrogens on the cardiovascular system of males, undergoing estrogen therapy due to prostate cancer.
