Building Bridges in a Series of Estrogen Receptor Degraders: An Application of Metathesis in Medicinal Chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Herein we report the use of metathesis to construct a novel tetracyclic core in a series of estrogen receptor degraders. This improved the chemical stability, as assessed using an NMR-MS based assay, and gave a molecule with excellent physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetics in rat. X-ray crystallography established minimal perturbation of the bridged compounds relative to the unbridged analogues in the receptor binding pocket. Unfortunately, despite retaining excellent binding to ER?, this adversely affected the ability of the compounds to degrade the receptor.

Project description:The environmental release and fate of estrogens are becoming an increasing public concern. Bacterial degradation has been considered the main process for eliminating estrogens from wastewater treatment plants. Various bacterial isolates are reportedly capable of aerobic estrogen degradation, and several estrogen degradation pathways have been proposed in proteobacteria and actinobacteria. However, the ecophysiological relevance of estrogen-degrading bacteria in the environment is unclear. In this study, we investigated the estrogen degradation pathway and corresponding degraders in activated sludge collected from the Dihua Sewage Treatment Plant, Taipei, Taiwan. Cultivation-dependent and cultivation-independent methods were used to assess estrogen biodegradation in the collected activated sludge. Estrogen metabolite profile analysis revealed the production of pyridinestrone acid and two A/B-ring cleavage products in activated sludge incubated with estrone (1 mM), which are characteristic of the 4,5-seco pathway. PCR-based functional assays detected sequences closely related to alphaproteobacterial oecC, a key gene of the 4,5-seco pathway. Metagenomic analysis suggested that Novosphingobium spp. are major estrogen degraders in estrone-amended activated sludge. Novosphingobium sp. strain SLCC, an estrone-degrading alphaproteobacterium, was isolated from the examined activated sludge. The general physiology and metabolism of this strain were characterized. Pyridinestrone acid and the A/B-ring cleavage products were detected in estrone-grown strain SLCC cultures. The production of pyridinestrone acid was also observed during the aerobic incubation of strain SLCC with 3.7 nM (1 ?g/liter) estrone. This concentration is close to that detected in many natural and engineered aquatic ecosystems. The presented data suggest the ecophysiological relevance of Novosphingobium spp. in activated sludge.IMPORTANCE Estrogens, which persistently contaminate surface water worldwide, have been classified as endocrine disruptors and human carcinogens. We contribute new knowledge on the major estrogen biodegradation pathway and estrogen degraders in wastewater treatment plants. This study considerably advances the understanding of environmental estrogen biodegradation, which is instrumental for the efficient elimination of these hazardous pollutants. Moreover, this study substantially improves the understanding of microbial estrogen degradation in the environment.
