title: ERbeta ligands. Part 1: the discovery of ERbeta selective ligands which embrace the 4-hydroxy-biphenyl template.
abstract: The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of simple biphenyls is described. Optimization of the 4-hydroxy-biphenyl template led to compounds with ERbeta selectivity on the order of 20-70-fold.
