    • Estrogen receptor (ER) pure antagonists such as ICI-182,780 (fulvestrant) are effective alternatives to tamoxifen (an ER antagonist/weak partial agonist) in the treatment of postmenopausal, receptor-positive human breast cancers. Structurally, these pure antagonists contain the basic core structure of 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) with a long side chain attached to its C-7alpha position. We explored and compared in this study various synthetic routes for preparing a number of C-7alpha-substituted… CONTINUE READING
