Diethylstilbestrol (DES) has estrogenic activity even though it is structurally unrelated to steroids. Once used as an additive in animal feed, DES has been implicated as a causative agent in several types of cancer. Show how DES can be drawn so that it is sterically similar to estradiol. 

Treatment of A 8(9)-dehydroestradiol with trifhioroacetic acid and triethylsilane gives estradiol in 96% yield (Eq. 86).239 The 3-methyl ether is similarly reduced to the 3-methyl ether of estradiol in >50% yield.239 The structurally related 18-ethyl and 18-propyl 17-keto compounds experience reduction of the A8(9) function in excess of 70% yield without concomitant reduction of the 17-keto... 

Isoflavones also have a diphenylpropane structure in which the B ring is located in the C3 position. They have structural analogies to estrogens, such as estradiol, with hydroxyl groups at the C7 and C4 positions (Shier and others 2001). 

The spatial conformation that the ligand-receptor acquires, particularly the spatial disposition that helix 12 of the LBD attains when it binds to estradiol, is key for the subsequent recruitment of the transcription cofactors (Fig. 1.9). Indeed, the arrival of estradiol restructures the entire domain, making helix 12 rotate and close the hole where the leucine zipper sequence of the corepressor had been lodged before (Fig. 1.10). Consequently, both molecules, corepressor and receptor, lose their affinity and their bond is undone. Another structure capable of interacting with gene transcription coactivators is formed at the same place on the receptor (MacGregor et al. 1998 McDonnell et al. 2002).

Members of the different SERM families bind to the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the ER, whose particular crystal structure has been revealed for estradiol and for raloxifene (Brzozowski et al. 1997). Once inserted into the binding cavity, estradiol makes direct hydrogen bonds bewteen its A-ring and...
