Several hydroxylated derivatives of tamoxifen were tested for their effects on the growth of T47D human breast cancer cells in vitro. Compounds containing a fused seven-membered ring were used to prevent isomerization of the triphenyl-ethylenes at the double bond. This stable structure permitted the determination of the activity of the cis and trans forms of tamoxifen and the true activity of two of its metabolites, 4-hydroxytamoxifen and metabolite E. Estradiol stimulates the growth of T47D cells 3-4-fold over control after 6 days of treatment (EC50 = congruent to 3 x 10(-12) to 3 x 10(-11) M, depending upon the particular experiment). The fixed ring form of the trans isomer of tamoxifen is an antiestrogen, whereas the cis isomer is estrogenic. Fixed ring-trans-4-hydroxytamoxifen is a potent antiestrogen, and its cis isomer is a weak antiestrogen (IC50 congruent to 4 x 10(-8) to 2 x 10(-7) M). The fixed ring form of trans-metabolite E (tamoxifen without the dimethylaminoethane side chain) is only a weak partial estrogen agonist, whereas the fixed ring derivative of its cis isomer is a potent estrogen agonist (EC50 congruent to 4 x 10(-12) to 1 x 10(-11) M). These studies have determined the true biological activities of the hydroxylated derivatives of tamoxifen. This information will be valuable for the development of drug receptor models and will be particularly useful when the three-dimensional structure of the receptor complex is determined.
