Structure–Activity Relationships for Triphenylethylene Antiestrogens on Hepatic Phase-I and Phase-II Enzyme Expression
To better understand the mechanism(s) by which tamoxifen induces rat hepatic CYPIIB2 and suppresses GSTA1, structure–activity studies were performed. Compounds employed in these studies included: tamoxifen, fixed-ring tamoxifen, ethylated fixed-ring tamoxifen, pyrrolidino-tamoxifen, 4-iodotamoxifen,...

Zusammenfassung: | To better understand the mechanism(s) by which tamoxifen induces rat hepatic CYPIIB2 and suppresses GSTA1, structure–activity studies were performed. Compounds employed in these studies included: tamoxifen, fixed-ring tamoxifen, ethylated fixed-ring tamoxifen, pyrrolidino-tamoxifen, 4-iodotamoxifen, idoxifene, and toremifene. With respect to GSTA1 suppression, tamoxifen, fixed-ring tamoxifen, 4-iodotamoxifen, idoxifene, and toremifene were all potent suppressors of GSTA1, while ethylated fixed-ring tamoxifen and pyrrolidino-tamoxifen were completely without activity. The results suggest that the aminoethoxy side chain plays a crucial role in GSTA1 suppression, and that 4-iodination may potentiate this activity. With respect to induction of CYPIIB2, tamoxifen, fixed-ring tamoxifen, and ethylated fixed-ring tamoxifen were inducers of this enzyme, while toremifene and 4-iodotamoxifen were inactive, suggesting that the aminoethoxy side chain is not a structural determinant of CYPIIB2 induction. Because ethylated fixed-ring tamoxifen, toremifene, and 4-iodotamoxifen had differential activities in the two assays, we conclude that CYPIIB2 induction and GSTA1 suppression by triphenylethylenes are the result of two separate and distinct mechanistic pathways. Structure–activity relationships for GSTA1 suppression and CYPIIB2 induction were compared with previously published relationships for triphenylethylene: 1) estrogen receptor relative binding affinity; 2) calmodulin antagonism; 3) antiuterotrophic activity; and 4) antagonism of MCF-7 cell growth. No clear correlation was observed between the effects on CYPIIB2 and these other four activities, suggesting no relationship between the mechanisms responsible for these effects. Similarly, no precise correlation was observed between GSTA1 suppression and these other activities, although rough similarities were observed for relative binding affinity and antiuterotrophic activity. This suggests that the mechanisms responsible for CYPIIB2 induction and GSTA1 suppression are not related to the mechanisms of action for these other documented activities, and may represent different mechanistic pathways. |
