To develop compounds that are antagonists on ER{alpha}, but not ERß, we have added basic side-chains typically found in nonsteroidal antiestrogens to pyrazole compounds that bind with much higher affinity to ER{alpha} than to ERß. In this way we have developed basic side-chain pyrazoles (BSC-pyrazoles) that are high affinity, potent, selective antagonists on ER{alpha}. These BSC-pyrazoles are themselves inactive on ER{alpha} and ERß, and they antagonize E2 stimulation by ER{alpha} only. We investigated seven basic side-chain substituents on various alkyl-triaryl-substituted pyrazoles, and the most ER{alpha}-selective compound was methyl-piperidino-pyrazole (MPP). ER{alpha}-selective antagonism was observed on diverse reporter-promoter gene constructs containing estrogen response elements that are consensus, nonconsensus (pS2), or comprised of multiple half-estrogen response elements (NHERF/EBP50) and on genes in which ER works indirectly by tethering to other DNA-bound proteins (TGFß3). In contrast to these BSC-pyrazoles, the antiestrogens trans-hydroxytamoxifen, raloxifene, and ICI 182,780 suppress E2 activity via both ER{alpha} and ERß. The most effective BSC-pyrazole, MPP, fully antagonized E2 stimulation of pS2 mRNA in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, consistent with the fact that these cells contain almost exclusively ER{alpha}. These compounds should be useful in studying the biological functions of ER{alpha} and ERß and in selectively blocking responses that are mediated through ER{alpha}.
