Synthesis and estrogenic activity of BODIPY-labeled estradiol conjugates. Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 199:106813. [PMID: 38797442 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Novel BODIPY-estradiol conjugates have been synthesized by selecting position C-3-O for labeling. The conjugation strategy was based on Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) or etherification. Estradiol derivatives used as azide partners bearing an ω-azidoalkyl function through C4-C8-long linkers have been prepared. CuAAC reactions of estradiol azides with BODIPY alkyne furnished fluorescent 3-O-labeled conjugates bearing the triazole ring as a coupling moiety. Williamson etherifications of 3-O-(ω-bromoalkyl)-17β-estradiol derivatives with BODIPY-OH resulted in labeled conjugates connected with an ether moiety. Interactions of the conjugates with estrogen receptor (ER) were investigated using molecular docking calculations in comparison with estradiol. The conjugates occupied both the classical and alternative binding sites on human ERα, with slightly lower binding affinity to references estradiol and diethystilbestrol. All compounds have displayed reasonable estrogenic activity. They increased the proliferation of ER-positive breast cancer cell line MCF7 contrary to ER-negative SKBR-3 cell line. The most potent compound 13a induced the transcriptional activity of ER in dose-dependent manner in dual luciferase recombinant reporter model and increased progesterone receptor's expression, proving the retained estrogenic activity. The fluorescence of candidate compound 13a co-localised with the ERα. The newly synthesized labeled compounds might serve as good starting point for further development of fluorescent probes for modern biological applications. In addition to studying steroid uptake and transport in cells, e.g. in the processes of biodegradation of estrogen-hormones micropollutants, they could also be utilized in examination of estrogen-binding proteins.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:38108-38114.

Abstract
A new reaction system with CuCl as catalyst, TEA as base and O2/chloramine-T as oxidant was developed for one-pot in situ oxidative-coupling to synthesize 5-aryl-1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in this paper. A variety of 5-arylated-1,2,3-triazole compounds could be efficiently prepared directly from the readily accessible organic azides, terminal alkynes and arylboronic acids. Advantages of the method include use of low-cost catalyst, clean oxidant, less-toxic additive, and low reaction temperature. Importantly, due to avoiding harsh strong basic reagents and high temperatures, the presented method can offer mild conditions for multi-component synthesis of 5-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles from the designed structurally complicated alkynyl or azide donors bearing natural product motifs and sensitive functional groups.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel estrone phosphonates as high affinity organic anion-transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1) inhibitors. Bioorg Chem 2021; 112:104914.

Abstract
Organic anion-transporting polypeptide 2B1 (OATP2B1) is a multispecific membrane transporter mediating the cellular uptake of various exo- and endobiotics, including drugs and steroid hormones. Increased uptake of steroid hormones by OATP2B1 may increase tumor proliferation. Therefore, understanding OATP2B1's substrate/inhibitor recognition and inhibition of its function, e.g., in hormone-dependent tumors, would be highly desirable. To identify the crucial structural features that correlate with OATP2B1 inhibition, here we designed modifications at four positions of the estrane skeleton. 13α- or 13β-estrone phosphonates modified at ring A or ring D were synthesized. Hirao and Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne click reactions served in the syntheses as key steps. 13β-Derivatives displayed outstanding OATP2B1 inhibitory action with IC50 values in the nanomolar range (41-87 nM). A BODIPY-13α-estrone conjugate was additionally synthesized, modified at C-3-O of the steroid, containing a four-carbon linker between the triazole moiety and the BODIPY core. The fluorescent conjugate displayed efficient, submicromolar OATP2B1 inhibitory potency. The newly identified inhibitors and the structure-activity relationships specified here promote our understanding about drug recognition of OATP2B1.

Abstract
Fluorescence and SPECT/PET imaging are powerful tools currently in use by the scientific community and receiving a great attention for the development of dual-modality imaging agents. BODIPYs are among the most promising candidates to be used for such functions due their excellent absorbance and fluorescence properties as well as their ease of radiolabeling without compromising their biological properties. In this manuscript we present an overview of BODIPY radiolabeling methods and their relevance to the development of multimodality agents.
