Abstract excerpt
The antagonist activity of antiestrogens is due to the presence of a long carbon side chain at positions 7alpha or 11beta or equivalent on their steroid or steroid-like skeletons. These side chains establish hydrophobic interactions with amino acids of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) ligand binding domain. In addition, a hydrogen bond formed between amino acid Asp-351 and the tertiary amine present at the...
