  • Abstract
    A tetraphenylporphyrin-C11-β-estradiol conjugate has been synthesized. Competitive binding assay of the conjugate with estrogen receptor (ER)-ligand-binding domain showed that the conjugate binds specifically to the protein with high affinity. Potential use of this conjugate to selectively deliver cytotoxic porphyrins to ER-positive cells in various carcinomas is discussed.
