Bazedoxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, has been explicitly included in the prohibited list issued by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) since January 2020. A high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric detection method was developed to identify bazedoxifene and its metabolites in human urine and to quantify bazedoxifene (free plus glucuronide) for doping control purposes. Bazedoxifene acetate (20 mg) was orally administered to seven male volunteers, and the urine samples collected were analyzed using the developed method. The linearity ranged from 0.5 to 200 ng/ml, and the limit of detection was <0.2 ng/ml. The interday precision (2.2% to 3.6%) and the interday accuracy (-10.0% to 1.9%) were adequate. Bazedoxifene, bazedoxifene-N-oxide, and bazedoxifene glucoconjugates were identified in the urine samples. The profiles of the urinary excretion indicated the presence of small amounts of free bazedoxifene and bazedoxifene-N-oxide, whereas bazedoxifene glucuronide was the predominant metabolite. The cumulative excretion amount of bazedoxifene (free form plus glucuronide conjugate) within 78 h after the administration was 0.7% to 1.3% of the total dose. In all subjects, bazedoxifene (free plus glucuronide) could be detected in urine up to 78 h after administration.

Leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease caused by various Leishmania species, poses a significant global health challenge, especially in resource-limited regions. Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) stands out among its severe manifestations, and current drug therapies have limitations, necessitating the exploration of new, cost-effective treatments. This study utilized a comprehensive computational workflow, integrating traditional 2D-QSAR, q-RASAR, and molecular docking to identify novel anti-leishmanial compounds, with a focus on Glycyl-tRNA Synthetase (LdGlyRS) as a promising drug target.

Selectivity profiling is key for assessing the pharmacological properties of multi-target drugs. We have developed a cell-based and barcoded assay encompassing ten druggable targets, including G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), nuclear receptors, a protease as well as their key downstream pathways and profiled 17 drugs in living cells for efficacy, potency, and side effects. Notably, this multiplex assay, termed safetyProfiler assay, enabled the simultaneous assessment of multiple target and pathway activities, shedding light on the polypharmacological profile of compounds.

Background: The combination of bazedoxifene 20 mg (BZA) and conjugated estrogens 0.45 mg (CE) marketed as Duavee® is approved for vasomotor symptom relief and osteoporosis prevention. Our pilot study suggested it had potential breast cancer risk reduction, and we proposed a multisite Phase IIB primary prevention trial assessing change in breast imaging and tissue risk biomarkers.

Breast cancer stands as the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rates among women globally, in which triple-negative breast cancer has been ranked as the most difficult one. Bazedoxifene (BZA), a third-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), has been exhibited notable inhibitory effect on both hormone-dependent breast cancer cells and triple-negative breast cancer cells, but showing very low in vivo effeacy. In order to obtain more effective antitumor derivatives than BZA, we have employed a structurally diverse design and synthesis of 57 novel 2-phenylindole amides for detecting their cytotoxities against triple-negative mammary cancer cell line, CMT-7364.
