Efficacy	Antineoplastic, Selective estrogen receptor downregulator
Comment	Selective estrogen receptor downregulator (SERD) Treatment of breast cancer

 

SAR439859 (compound 43d) is an orally active, nonsteroidal and selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD). SAR439859 is a potent ER antagonist and has ER degrading activity with an EC₅₀ of 0.2 nM for ERα degradation. SAR439859 demonstrates robust antitumor efficacy and limited cross-resistance in ER⁺ breast cancer.

Amcenestrant is an orally available, nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor degrader/downregulator (SERD), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, amcenestrant specifically targets and binds to the estrogen receptor (ER) and induces a conformational change that promotes ER degradation. This prevents ER-mediated signaling and inhibits both the growth and survival of ER-expressing cancer cells.

Amcenestrant is reported to be a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) which has estrogen receptor antagonist properties and accelerates the proteasomal degradation of the estrogen receptor. Amcenestrant is under clinical investigation as an anticancer agent, in particular for treatment of breast cancer.

The compound and processes for preparation thereof are described in International Publication No. WO 2017/140669.

Crystalline forms are described in International Publication No. WO 2021/116074.

Intermediate (I). 6-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-5-{4-[1 -(3-fluoro-propyl)-pyrrolidin-3-yloxy]-phenyl}- -dihydro-7H-benzocycloheptene-2-arboxylic acid methyl ester.

To a solution of methyl 8-bromo-9-(4-{[(3S)-1 -(3-fluoropropyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]oxy}phenyl)-6,7- dihydro-5H-benzo[7]annulene-3-carboxylate hydrobromide (H) (150 mg, 298.56 μηηοΙ), in dioxane (12 ml) and water (2 ml), was added 2,4-dichlorophenyl-boronic acid (62.67 mg, 328.41 μηιοΙ), Cs₂C0₃ (204.48 mg, 626.97 μπιοΙ), and Pd(dppf)CI₂ (14.63 mg, 17.91 mol). The reaction mixture was heated at 90°C for 3 hours, and partitioned between AcOEt and water. The phases were separated and the organic phase washed with brine, dried over MgS0₄ and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column

chromatography eluting with a mixture of DCM, acetonitrile and MeOH (96/2/2; V/V/V) to give 80 mg (47%) of 6-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-5-{4-[1 -(3-fluoro-propyl)-pyrrolidin-3-yloxy]-phenyl}-8,9-dihydro-7H-benzocycloheptene-2-arboxylic acid methyl ester (I).

Compound (1 ). 6-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-[4-[(3S)-1 -(3-fluoropropyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]oxyphenyl]-8,9-dihydro-7H-benzo[7]annulen -2-carboxylic acid

To a solution of 6-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-5-{4-[1 -(3-fluoro-propyl)-pyrrolidin-3-yloxy]-phenyl}-8,9-dihydro-7H-benzocycloheptene-2-arboxylic acid methyl ester (I) (80 mg, 140.72 μηηοΙ) in MeOH (5 ml) was added a solution of NaOH (562.88 μΙ, 5 M) and the reaction mixture was heated at 60°C for 5 hours and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in water (10 ml) and aqueous HCI (5 M) added to pH 7. The slurry was extracted with DCM, dried over MgS0₄ and concentrated under reduced pressure. The solid was purified by column chromatography eluting with a mixture of DCM, acetonitrile and MeOH (90/5/5; V/V/V) to give 60 mg (77%) of 6-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-5-[4-[(3S)-1 -(3-fluoropropyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]oxyphenyl]-8,9-dihydro-7H-benzo[7]annulene-2-carboxylic acid. ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6, δ ppm): 1 .68 (m, 1 H); 1 ,79 (dm, J=25.3 Hz, 2 H); 2.07 to 2.23 (m, 5 H); 2.38 (m, 1 H); 2.46 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 2 H); 2.52 (m, 1 H); 2.62 (m, 1 H); 2.55 to 2.89 (m, 3 H); 4.47 (td, J=6.2 and 47.6 Hz, 2 H); 4.72 (m, 1 H); 6.63 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 2 H); 6.71 (m, 3 H); 7.18 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1 H); 8.26 (dd, J=2.0 and 8.4 Hz, 1 H); 7.58 (d, J=2,0 Hz, 1 H); 7.63 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1 H); 7.79 (s, 1 H); 12.3 (m, 1 H)
