ERbeta has been associated with estrogen-induced promotion of memory function and neuronal survival. Based on the optimized complex structure of human ERbeta LBD bound with genistein, computer-aided structure-based virtual screening against a natural source chemical database was conducted to determine the occurrence of plant-based ERbeta-selective ligands. Twelve representative hits derived from database screening were assessed for their binding profiles to both ERs, three of which displayed over 100-fold binding selectivity to ERbeta over ERalpha.
雌激素受体β(ERβ)与雌激素诱导的记忆功能促进和神经元存活有关。基于与染料木黄酮结合的人ERβ配体结合域(LBD)的优化复合物结构,针对天然来源化学数据库进行了基于计算机辅助结构的虚拟筛选,以确定植物来源的ERβ选择性配体的存在情况。对数据库筛选得到的12个代表性命中物进行了它们与两种雌激素受体结合情况的评估,其中3个对ERβ的结合选择性比对ERα高100倍以上。
