Sulphamoylated 2-methoxyestradiol analogues induce apoptosis in adenocarcinoma cell lines.

2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME2) is a naturally occurring estradiol metabolite which possesses antiproliferative, antiangiogenic and antitumor properties. However, due to its limited biological accessibility, synthetic analogues have been synthesized and tested in attempt to develop drugs with improved ora...
