✦ Synopsis
Type4 estrogen-binding sites (type-ll EBS) have been demonstrated in the human lymphoblastoid cell line IM-9 using a whole-cell assay with (6,7-'H) estradiol ('H-E,) as tracer. Competition analysis showed that the anti-estrogen tamoxifen and the flavonoids quercetin and rutin competed for (lH)-E, binding to type-It EBS. Growth experiments demonstrated that diethylstilbestrol (DES) tamoxifen (TAM), quercetin and rutin exerted a reversible dose-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation in the range of concentrations between I 0 nM and 10 WM. The relative binding affinity of quercetin, rutin, DES and TAM for type-ll EBS correlated well with their potency as cell growth inhibitors. Moreover, hesperidin, a flavonoid which does not bind to type-ll EBS, was ineffective in inhibiting cell growth. Cell-cycle analysis showed that the growth-inhibitory effect of DES, TAM or quercetin was due to a blocking effect in the G,-G, phases. Our results suggest that high estrogen and anti-estrogen concentrations and flavonoids may regulate IM-9 cell growth through a common mechanism involving a binding interaction with type-ll EBS.

## Abstract We show that flavonoids positively regulate type‐II estrogen‐binding site (type‐ll EBS) levels both in MCF‐7 (ER‐positive) and in MDA‐MB231 (ER‐negative) breast‐cancer cells. Type‐ll EBS were measured by a whole‐cell assay at 4°C for 2.5 hr using [^3^H]‐estradiol as tracer. In both cell

L Y I 17018 is a non-steroid anti-estrogen which exhibits about 100 times higher affinity for estrogen receptor than tamoxifen, another anti-estrogen.

The effects of the novel anti-estrogen EM-343 on the growth of 2 hormone-responsive human breast cancer tumors have been examined in athymic nude mice. At the low daily dose of 5 g, EM-343 administered subcutaneously for 6 months completely blocked the stimulatory effect of endogenous estrogens on t
