Novel nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulators. Carbon and heteroatom replacement of oxygen in the ethoxypiperidine region of raloxifene

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Feb 22;9(4):523-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00050-5.

Abstract

Compounds were synthesized where oxygen in the ethoxypiperidine region of raloxifene is replaced with carbon, sulfur, or nitrogen linkages. Thia- and aza-substituted compounds were prepared by novel methodology. The compounds were evaluated in vitro as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). Calculations suggested the compounds exhibit an ER-alpha binding affinity/conformational energy relationship.
