✦ Synopsis
Acolbifene (EM-652 Á HCl, SCH 57068 Á HCl), a highly potent and orally active selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), is at late stage clinical development for the treatment of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer. Acolbifene-7-glucuronide 1 (major) and acolbifene-4 0 -glucuronide 2 (minor) were identified as metabolites of acolbifene in the human. The two monoglucuronides and a diglucuronide 3 as well as the corresponding 2 H-labelled derivatives 4-6 were synthesised for use as preclinical and clinical standards for LC-MS/MS analysis. All glucuronides were prepared by the Schmidt glycosylation of monoprotected acolbifene with a glucuronyl imidate at À108C to prevent epimerisation at the C-2 position. The two monoglucuronides 1 and 2 of acolbifene were separated by semi-preparative HPLC. Incorporation of three deuteriums was achieved by alkylation of chromanone 15 with C 2 H 3 MgI followed by dehydration with C 2 H 3 CO 2 2 H/ 2 H 2 O. After chemical resolution and salt neutralisation,
[ 2 H 3 ]acolbifene 19 was obtained with 99.4% enantiomeric purity and >98% isotopic purity.
