Anordrin Eliminates Tamoxifen Side Effects Without Changing Its
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Anordrin Eliminates Tamoxifen Side Effects without Changing Its Antitumor Activity Received: 26 August 2016 Wenwen Gu1,*, Wenping Xu2,*, Xiaoxi Sun3, Bubing Zeng2, Shuangjie Wang1, Nian Dong4, Accepted: 31 January 2017 Xu Zhang1, Chengshui Chen4, Long Yang5, Guowu Chen3, Aijie Xin3, Zhong Ni6, Jian Wang1 & Published: 07 March 2017 Jun Yang1 Tamoxifen is administered for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancers, but it can induce uterine endometrial cancer and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Importantly, ten years of tamoxifen treatment has greater protective effect against ER+ breast cancer than five years of such treatment. Tamoxifen was also approved by the FDA as a chemopreventive agent for those deemed at high risk for the development of breast cancer. The side effects are of substantial concern because of these extended methods of tamoxifen administration. In this study, we found that anordrin, marketed as an antifertility medicine in China, inhibited tamoxifen-induced endometrial epithelial cell mitosis and NAFLD in mouse uterus and liver as an anti-estrogenic and estrogenic agent, respectively. Additionally, compared with tamoxifen, anordiol, the active metabolite of anordrin, weakly bound to the ligand binding domain of ER-α. Anordrin did not regulate the classic estrogen nuclear pathway; thus, it did not affect the anti- tumor activity of tamoxifen in nude mice. Taken together, these data suggested that anordrin could eliminate the side effects of tamoxifen without affecting its anti-tumor activity. Tamoxifen was the first FDA-approved drug for breast cancer patients with positively expressed estrogen recep- tors (ER)1. However, tamoxifen also induces side effects, such as uterine endometrial cancer and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). -

Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator BC-1 Activates Antioxidant Signaling Pathway in Vitro Via Formation of Reactive Metabolites

In this study the molecular mechanisms of antioxidant signaling activation by benzothiophene compound BC-1 were investigated. Methods: HepG2 cells were stably transfected with antioxidant response element (ARE)-luciferase reporter (HepG2-ARE cells). The expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in HepG2-ARE cells was suppressed using siRNA. The metabolites of BC-1 in rat liver microsome incubation were analyzed using LC-UV and LC-MS. Results: Addition of BC-1 (5 μmol/L) in HepG2-ARE cells resulted in a 17-fold increase of ARE-luciferase activity. Pretreatment with the estrogen receptor agonist E2 (5 μmol/L) or antagonist ICI 182,780 (5 μmol/L) did not affect BC-1-induced ARE-luciferase activity. However, transfection of the cells with anti-Nrf2 siRNA suppressed this effect by 79%. Addition of BC-1 in rat microsome incubation resulted in formation of di-quinone methides and o-quinones, followed by formation of GSH conjugates. -

A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin August 2017 ABSTRACT DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF SELECTIVE ESTROGEN RECEPTOR β AGONISTS AND THEIR PHARMACOLOGY K. L. Iresha Sampathi Perera, B.Sc. (Hons), M.Sc. Marquette University, 2017 Estrogens (17β-estradiol, E2) have garnered considerable attention in influencing cognitive process in relation to phases of the menstrual cycle, aging and menopausal symptoms. However, hormone replacement therapy can have deleterious effects leading to breast and endometrial cancer, predominantly mediated by estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) the major isoform present in the mammary gland and uterus. Further evidence supports a dominant role of estrogen receptor-beta (ERβ) for improved cognitive effects such as enhanced hippocampal signaling and memory consolidation via estrogen activated signaling cascades. Creation of the ERβ selective ligands is challenging due to high structural similarity of both receptors. Thus far, several ERβ selective agonists have been developed, however, none of these have made it to clinical use due to their lower selectivity or considerable side effects. -
Pure Oestrogen Antagonists for the Treatment of Advanced Breast Cancer
Endocrine-Related Cancer (2006) 13 689–706 REVIEW Pure oestrogen antagonists for the treatment of advanced breast cancer Anthony Howell CRUK Department of Medical Oncology, University of Manchester, Christie Hospital NHS Trust, Manchester M20 4BX, UK (Requests for offprints should be addressed to A Howell; Email: [email protected]) Abstract For more than 30 years, tamoxifen has been the drug of choice in treating patients with oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumours. However, research has endeavoured to develop agents that match and improve the clinical efficacy of tamoxifen, but lack its partial agonist effects. The first ‘pure’ oestrogen antagonist was developed in 1987; from this, an even more potent derivative was developed for clinical use, known as fulvestrant (ICI 182,780, ‘Faslodex’). Mechanistic studies have shown that fulvestrant possesses high ER-binding affinity and has multiple effects on ER signalling: it blocks dimerisation and nuclear localisation of the ER, reduces cellular levels of ER and blocks ER-mediated gene transcription. Unlike anti-oestrogens chemically related to tamoxifen, fulvestrant also helps circumvent resistance to tamoxifen. There are extensive data to support the lack of partial agonist effects of fulvestrant and, importantly, its lack of cross-resistance with tamoxifen. In phase III studies in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, fulvestrant was at least as effective as anastrozole in patients with tamoxifen-resistant tumours, was effective in the first-line setting and was also well tolerated. These data are supported by experience from the compassionate use of fulvestrant in more heavily pretreated patients. Further studies are now underway to determine the best strategy for sequencing oestrogen endocrine therapies and to optimise dosing regimens offulvestrant. -
