title: Synthesis of a novel fluorescent probe for estrogen receptor.
abstract: A novel estradiol-mimetic fluorescent probe 5 was synthesized from diethylstilbestrol (DES, 1), which is useful for probing estrogen receptor (ERalpha), a prognostic indicator of estrogen-dependent cancers, and for developing a homogeneous fluorescence polarization (FP) assay to identify the ligands of estrogen receptor.
