Discovery of Novel Bicyclic Phenylselenyl-Containing Hybrids: An Orally Bioavailable, Potential, and Multiacting Class of Estrogen Receptor Modulators against Endocrine-Resistant Breast Cancer
Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a multifactorial disease and is prone to drug resistance during treatment. In this study, we described a new class of multifunctional estrogen receptor (ER) modulators ground on a prerogative indirect antagonism skeleton (OBHS, oxabicycloheptene sulfonate) of ER containing a phenylselenyl group. Compound 34b showed significant antiproliferative activities against tamoxifen-sensitive (MCF-7) and -resistant (LCC2) cells. Moreover, hexokinase 1 (HK1) was identified as a direct target of 34b . Further mechanism investigations proved that 34b induced apoptosis, which was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction caused by the synergistic effects of downregulating mitochondrial-bound HK1 protein and promoting reactive oxygen species generation. In vivo , 34b had a favorable pharmacokinetic profile with a bioavailability of 23.20% and exhibited more potent tumor suppression than tamoxifen both in MCF-7 and LCC2 tumor xenograft models. Collectively, our studies showed that 34b is a promising new multifunctional candidate compound for ERα + BC treatment, particularly for tamoxifen-resistant BC.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
