Methodology is described for the synthesis of C derivatives of raloxifene, a prescribed drug for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. Studies have explored the incorporation of electron-withdrawing substituents at C of the benzothiophene core. Efficient processes are also examined to introduce hydrogen bond donor and acceptor functionality. Raloxifene derivatives are evaluated with testing to determine estrogen receptor (ER) binding affinity and gene expression in MC3T3 cells.

Endometriosis affects about 10 percent women in the reproductive age group globally and approximately 42 million in India. Managing the patient's pain symptoms associated with endometriosis appears to be the cornerstone in endometriosis disease management. The ideal medical treatment in endometriosis would be suppressing estradiol enough to alleviate symptoms of endometriosis but maintain sufficient levels to mitigate hypoestrogenic side effects.

Discovery of D-Ring-Contracted Artemisinin as a Potent Hydrophobic Tag for Targeted Protein Degradation.

J Med Chem

The relentless pursuit of innovative hydrophobic tags remains a formidable challenge within the realm of targeted protein degradation. Herein, we have uncovered the remarkable potential of D-ring-contracted artemisinin as a potent hydrophobic tag that demonstrates exceptional degradation efficiency. We have crafted a series of conjugates by fusing D-ring-contracted artemisinin with raloxifene, and among these, has emerged as a promising candidate for degrading estrogen receptor α (ERα).

Currently, clinically available cancer chemopreventive drug options are limited to mostly tamoxifen and its derivatives, such as raloxifene, and approved specifically for breast cancer. Thus, the availability of chemopreventive drug molecules for other types of malignant cancers would be desirable. In previous reports, the arils of (mace) have been found to exhibit cancer chemopreventive activity.

Background And Aim: Although various randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated the effect of raloxifene on apolipoproteins and lipoprotein(a) concentrations in postmenopausal women, the results have been inconsistent and inconclusive. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis of RCTs to investigate the effect of raloxifene administration on apolipoproteins and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations in postmenopausal women.

Methods: Two independent researchers systematically searched the scientific literature (including PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE) for English-language randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to June 2024.
