  • the present invention relates to compounds of Formula I that diminish the effects of estrogen receptors and lower the concentrations of estrogen receptors, and therefore, are useful as agents for the treatment or prevention of diseases or conditions in which the actions of estrogens or estrogen receptors are involved in the etiology or pathology of the disease or condition or contribute to at least one symptom of the disease or condition and wherein such actions of estrogens or estrogen receptors are undesirable.
  • Compounds of the invention are both potent estrogen receptor antagonists and selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDS).
  • the estrogen receptor (ER) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. In both females and males, estrogens play an important role in the regulation of a number of physiological processes. In humans, two different ER subtypes are known: ERoc and ER . Each subtype has a distinct tissue distribution and with different biological roles. For example, ERoc has high presence in endometrium, breast cancer cells, ovarian stroma cells and in the hypothalamus. The expression of the ER protein has been documented in kidney, brain, bone, heart, lungs, intestinal mucosa, prostate, bladder, ovary, testis, and endothelial cells.
  • Tamoxifen for example, behaves like an estrogen in bone and endometrium, whereas it behaves like an anti-estrogen in breast tissue.
  • Breast cancer is the predominant neoplastic disease in women.
  • ERoc is a major driver of breast cancer progression.
  • Multiple existing treatment approaches aim to reduce estrogen levels or block its binding to ERoc thereby minimizing tumor progression or even inducing tumor regression in ERoc -positive breast cancer.
  • Tamoxifen is a first-generation treatment for ERoc-positive breast cancer.
  • Fulvestrant is a pure ERoc antagonist without the partial agonist activity which is typical for the estrogen receptor modulators. It is the only marketed selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) and it is efficacious in second-line treatment of breast cancer. Fulvestrant both antagonizes estrogen receptors and effectively degrades or down-regulates ERoc protein levels in cells. This SERD activity inhibits ERoc -driven proliferation and tumor growth. Fulvestrant, when administered once a month at 250 mg is equally effective to tamoxifen in treatment of ERoc- positive advanced breast cancer.
  • SESD selective estrogen receptor degrader
  • fulvestrant In second-line treatment of ERoc -positive tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer, fulvestrant, when administered once a month at 250 mg, is equally effective to aromatase inhibitors, despite relatively poor bioavailability and/or target exposure which limits its clinical efficacy.
  • SERDs include "ICI 164,384", a structural analog of fulvestrant; "GW5638”, a structural analog of tamoxifen; and "GW7604", a structural analogue of 4-hydroxy -tamoxifen.
  • ERoc antagonists which would preferably have ER degrading or down-regulating activity in, for example, breast cancer cells without stimulating proliferation in ERoc -positive, hormone treatment-resistant breast cancer cells.
  • Such compounds would be orally administrable and be useful in the treatment of, amongst other things, ERoc -positive, hormone treatment-resistant breast cancer.
  • Estrogen receptor-related diseases or conditions include, but are not limited to, aberrant estrogen receptor activity associated with: cancer, for example, bone cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian and uterine cancer;

Cyclodextrins with fewer than six glucose units are not known to exist. The glucose units are linked by alpha- 1,4- glucosidic bonds.

  • Multiple coatings or mixtures of cyanamide encapsulated in different materials can be used to obtain an initial release in the stomach, followed by later release in the intestine.
  • Release can also be manipulated by inclusion of salts or pore forming agents, which can increase water uptake or release of drug by diffusion from the capsule.
  • Excipients which modify the solubility of the drug can also be used to control the release rate.
  • Agents which enhance degradation of the matrix or release from the matrix can also be incorporated. They can be added to the drug, added as a separate phase (i.e., as particulates), or can be co-dissolved in the polymer phase depending on the compound. In all cases the amount should be between 0.1 and thirty percent (w/w polymer).
  • Types of degradation enhancers include inorganic salts such as ammonium sulfate and ammonium chloride, organic acids such as citric acid, benzoic acid, and ascorbic acid, inorganic bases such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, zinc carbonate, and zinc hydroxide, and organic bases such as protamine sulfate, spermine, choline, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine and surfactants such as Tween® and Pluronic®.
  • Pore forming agents which add microstructure to the matrices i.e., water soluble compounds such as inorganic salts and sugars
  • the range should be between one and thirty percent (w/w polymer).
  • Uptake can also be manipulated by altering residence time of the particles in the gut. This can be achieved, for example, by coating the particle with, or selecting as the encapsulating material, a mucosal adhesive polymer.

The reaction mixture was flushed with nitrogen, charged with copper(I) iodide (161 mg, 847 ⁇ ), and heated at 150 °C for 16 h at which point starting material remained. The reaction mixture was charged with additional copper(I) iodide (161 mg, 847 ⁇ ) and heated for an additional 16 h.

  • LC/MS indicated no addition conversion.
  • the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and was diluted with dichloromethane and water.
  • the organic layer was passed through a phase separator and concentrated.
  • the crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (80 g, 0-100% ethyl acetate/heptanes) to afford 2-(4-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-l(2H)-one (1.1 g, 34% yield) as a beige solid.

Methyl iodide (0.116 ml, 1.859 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted three times with dichloromethane. The organic layers were combined, passed through a phase separator and concentrated.
