Abstract

Selective Estrogen Receptor degraders (SERDs) have shown promise for the treatment of ER+ breast Cancer. Disclosed herein is the continued optimization of our indazole series of SERDs. Exploration of ER degradation and antagonism in vitro followed by in vivo antagonism and oral exposure culminated in the discovery of indazoles 47 and 56, which induce tumor regression in a tamoxifen-resistant breast Cancer xenograft.
