title: Estrogen and androgen receptor binding affinity of 10 beta-chloro-estrenen derivatives.
abstract: 10 beta-Chloroestradien-3-one and its derivatives with chlorine substitution in ring A have been prepared. Efficient synthetic methods for 2-chloro- and 4-chloroestradiol are described. The binding affinity of these chlorinated estrogens to the uterine estrogen receptor was measured by a competitive binding assay using [3H]estradiol as ligand. 4-Chloroestradiol showed high binding affinity for the receptor (110% of that of estradiol). 2-Chloroestradiol, 10 beta-chloroestradien-3-one and 4,10 beta-dichloroestradien-3-one had moderate binding affinity. The structures of 10 beta-chloroestradien-3-one and androst-1,4-dien-3-one are very similar and can almost be superimposed. However, their binding affinities to the estrogen and androgen receptor were different. Androst-1,4-dien-3-one displayed no measurable affinity for the estrogen receptor and measurable affinity for the androgen receptor whereas 10 beta-chloroestradien-3-one had very low affinity for the androgen receptor.
