Abstract

The present invention provides, inter alia, triphenylethylene derivatives, such as, 5-{2-[4-(1,2-Diphenyl-but-1-enyl)-phenyl]-vinyl}-1H-tetrazole, as selective estrogen receptor modulators. Also provided are methods for treating estrogen stimulated diseases in mammals including, but not limited to, for example, breast, uterine, ovarian, prostate and colon cancer; osteoporosis; endometriosis; uterine fibroid; Alzheimer's disease; macular degeneration; urinary incontinence; and type II diabetes, as well as, pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one compound of the present invention.

Claims (34)

1. A compound of Formula (I):

or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form thereof,

wherein R 1 is selected from

R 2 is selected from H, C 1-8 alkyl, and halo;

R 3 is selected from H, C 1-8 alkyl, C 2-8 alkylenyl, halo, and CN;

alternatively R 2 and R 3 , together with the atoms to which they are attached, form a six- or seven-membered ring structure where one or more of the atoms forming the ring may be oxygen;

R 4 is selected from H, OH, C 1-8 alkyl, OC 1-8 alkyl, and halo;

R 5 is selected from H, OH, CN, nitro, C 1-8 alkyl, OC 1-8 alkyl, and halo;

R 7 is selected from H and C 1-8 alkyl; and

the bond represented by a broken line and a solid line is an optional double bond.

2. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 7 is H.

3. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 7 is —CH 3 .

4. A compound according to claim 1 wherein R 2 and R 3 together with the atoms to which they are attached form a seven-membered ring.

5. A compound according to claim 4 , wherein one of the atoms forming the seven-membered ring is an O.

6. A compound according to claim 4 , wherein R 4 is —OCH 3 .

7. A compound according to claim 4 , wherein R 7 is H.

8. A compound according to claim 1 wherein R 2 and R 3 together with the atoms to which they are attached form a six-membered ring.

9. A compound according to claim 8 , wherein one of the atoms forming the six-membered ring is an O.

10. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is CH 3 .

11. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is CN.

12. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is CH═CH 2 .

13. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 2 is H.

14. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 3 is —CH 2 CH 3 .

l) 5-(2-{4-[6-(3-Methoxy-phenyl)-8,9-dihydro-7H-benzocyclohepten-5-yl]-phenyl}-vinyl)-1H-tetrazole.

20. A pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of claim 1 .

21. A method of treating breast, uterine, ovarian, prostate or colon cancer; osteoporosis; endometriosis; uterine fibroid; Alzheimer's disease; macular degeneration; urinary incontinence; or type II diabetes, comprising: administering to a host in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of claim 1 .
