title: Substituted benzopyranobenzothiazinones. Synthesis and estrogenic activity on MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells.
abstract: In the search for new agents with estrogenic activity mediated by estrogen receptors (ER), six 6,12-dihydro-1-benzopyrano[3,4-b][1,4]benzothiazin-6-ones 3a-f were synthesized. These compounds were readily prepared by the addition of 2-aminothiophenol 2 to substituted 4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives 1a-e. The estrogenic effect has been evaluated on the proliferation of MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cells and the specificity of described compounds was evaluated by the inhibition of their effect by ICI 182,780, an antiestrogenic compound. Among the compounds tested, 6,12-dihydro-3-methoxy-1-benzopyrano[3,4-b][1,4]benzothiazin-6-one 3e and 6,12-dihydro-3-hydroxy-1-benzopyrano[3,4-b][1,4]benzothiazin-6-one 3f exhibited an ER-dependent proliferation and a high binding affinity to ER, but a moderate capacity to activate the transcription of a reporter gene. Their pharmacological profiles are defined by their binding properties and their mechanism of action by computational modelling studies.
