Abstract

A new series of 1,3-biarylsulfanyl derivatives (homodibenzyl core motif) have been designed and synthesized as new Estrogen Receptor ligands by chopping benzothiophene core of raloxifene to engender seco-raloxifene scaffold. All the synthesized compounds were screened for anti-proliferative, anti-osteoporotic, and anti-implantation activity. Compounds (35, 36) having basic amino anti-estrogenic side chain were exhibiting potential anti-proliferative activity in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and ishikawa cell lines. Some of the synthesized compounds having homodibenzyl motif (5, 8, 10) have shown moderate anti-osteoporotic activity.
