Abstract

EM-652 (acolbifene) analogs have been synthesized as selective Estrogen Receptor modulators. Substitution on the nitrogen atom of these 2H-1-benzopyran derivatives has been studied for its influence on antiestrogenic activity. Binding to the rat Estrogen Receptor, inhibition of estradiol-stimulated proliferation of T-47D breast Cancer cells, as well as antiuterotrophic and uterotrophic activities in ovariectomized mice have been evaluated. 2H-1-Benzopyran 1b (EM-343, racemic form of EM-652), which contains a piperidine ring, shows the best pharmacological profile; RBA = 380, IC50 value = 0.110 nM (in T-47D cells), as well as 63% and 84% antiuterotrophic inhibitions at the 7.5 and 75 nmol doses, respectively.
