Furans with basic side chains: synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel series of antagonists with selectivity for the estrogen receptor alpha

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Sep 17;11(18):2521-4. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00488-7.

Abstract

3-alkyl-2,4,5-triarylfurans with basic side-chain substituents were prepared as ligands for the estrogen receptor. Those analogues having the basic side chain on the C(4) phenol were high-affinity, ERalpha-selective antagonists.
