Résumé : A series of new monosubstituted hexestrol derivatives were synthesized and the estrogenic and cytotoxic properties of some of them were studied. 3-Acetoxymethyl-hexestrol 8 has a binding affinity for the cytoplasmic estrogen receptor as high as estradiol. It is 100-1000 times lower for the coumarinic derivatives 13, 14 and 15. None of these compounds becomes covalently bound to the receptor. They display a 20-1000 times lower affinity for the estrogen receptor in the whole cell test on the MCF-7 mammary tumor cell culture. At low concentrations (10-8 M) the three coumarinic derivatives stimulate the growth of these cells (estrogenic effect) as strongly as estradiol does. © 1987.
