Abstract:
A designed 2-phenylquinoline-estradiol hybrid effectively and selectively degraded the target transcription factor, human estrogen receptor-alpha (hER-alpha), which has a high affinity with the estradiol moiety, under long-wavelength UV photo-irradiation, without additives and under neutral conditions.
