Fourteen esters (formate, acetate, propionate, butyrate, hexanoate, heptanoate, and benzoate) located at C-11 of 11 beta-hydroxyesterone and 11 beta-hydroxyestradiol-17 beta were synthesized and evaluated for uterotropic and gonadotropin release inhibition in rats, as well as their ability to displace (3H) estradiol-17 beta from the rat uterine cytosolic estrogen receptor. The most potent uterotropic agent was 11 beta-formoxyestrone which was 1,625 or 2,500 times as active as 11 beta-hydroxyesterone in the uterotropic or gonadotropin release inhibition assay, respectively. 11 beta-Formoxyestrone was 7.5 times as uterotropic as estradiol-17 beta and equal to estradiol-17 beta in inhibiting gonadotropin release. However, the most potent inhibitor of gonadotropin release was 11 beta-acetoxy-estradiol-17 beta which had 133% of the activity of estradiol-17 beta, although it had only 38% of the activity of estradiol-17 beta in the uterotropic assay. Esters larger than the acetoxy group showed sharply decreased activities in either assay. Despite the high estrogenic potency of the 11-formates or 11-acetates, they were rather weak (6% to 35% as active as estradiol-17 beta) in displacing (3H) estradiol-17 beta from the rat uterine cytosolic estrogen receptor.
