The effect of the position of the phenolic hydroxyl on the conformations of the three A-ring isomers of estradiol, namely, estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-1,17 beta-diol (10), estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-2,17 beta-diol (3), and estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-4,17 beta-diol (6), has been analyzed by X-ray crystallography. The results of these analyses were correlated with the absorptions of the angular methyl groups in the [1H]NMR spectra of these isomers and natural estradiol (E2). It was observed that the changes in chemical shift of protons at C18 corresponded to skeletal modifications in the steroid structure which changed the anisotropic effect of the hydroxyl group at C17. Examination of the affinity of these A-ring isomers of E2 for the estrogen receptor has shown the 2-hydroxylated isomer 3 to retain 1/5th the affinity of E2 for its binding protein. The 1- and 4-hydroxylated derivatives (10 and 6, respectively) bound to a much lesser extent. The receptor affinities of these estrogen analogues may be related to the angle between the 18-methyl and the 17 beta-hydroxyl groups (or the dihedral angle between the planar A-ring and the angular C18 methyl) as well as the position of the A-ring hydroxyl group.
