Novel Biphenyl Amines Inhibit Oestrogen Receptor (ER)-α in ER-Positive Mammary Carcinoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: Herein, the activity of adamantanyl-tethered-biphenyl amines (ATBAs) as oestrogen receptor alpha (ERα) modulating ligands is reported. Using an ERα competitor assay it was demonstrated that ATBA compound 3-(adamantan-1-yl)-4-methoxy-N-(4-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl) aniline (AMTA) exhibited an inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) value of 62.84 nM and demonstrated better binding affinity compared to tamoxifen (IC50 = 79.48 nM). Treatment of ERα positive (ER+) mammary carcinoma (MC) cells (Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF7)) with AMTA significantly decreased cell viability at an IC50 value of 6.4 μM. AMTA treatment of MC cell-generated three-dimensional (3D) spheroids resulted in significantly decreased cell viability. AMTA demonstrated a superior inhibitory effect compared to tamoxifen-treate
