Description
WO 99/25707 PCT/US98/23'119 2-ARYLBENZO[b]THIOPHENES USEFUL FOR THE TREATMENT OF
ESTROGEN DEPRIVATION SYNDROME
giel8 of the Invention This invention relates to the fields of pharmaceutical and organic chemistry anc~ provides 2-arylbenzo[b]thiophenes which are useful for the inhibition of the various estrogen deficient conditions.
8ackQrounB of the Invention "Estrogen deprivation syndrome" is a term used to describe various pathological conditions which frequently affect women who have insufficient levels of the hormone estrogen. The most common cause of estrogen deprivation in women is the natural cessation of menses with age, i.e., menopause. Additionally, non-natural circumstances including surgical ovariectomy, chemotherapy causing the cessation of hormone production or pharmacologic action, and the like, may induce estrogen deprivation. Although numerous pathologies are contemplated by the use of this term, two major effects of estrogen deprivation syndrome are the source of the greatest long-term medical concern:
osteoporosis and cardiovascular effects, especially hyperlipidemia.
Osteoporosis describes a group of diseases which arise from diverse etiologies, but are all characterized by the net loss of bone mass per unit volume. The consequence of this loss of bone mass is the failure of the skeleton to provide adequate structural support for the body i.e. bone fracture. One of the most common types of osteoporosis is that associated with menopause.
Most women lose from about 20~ to about 60~ of the bone mass in the trabecular compartment of the bone within 3 to 6 years after the cessation of menses. This rapid loss is generally associated with an overall increase of the bone resorption and bone formation cycle where the resorptive cycle is more dominant. The obvious result is a net loss of bone mass. Osteoporosis is a common and serious disease among post-menopausal women.
There are an estimated 25 million women in the United States, alone, who are afflicted with this disease. The results of osteoporosis are personally harmful and also account for a large economic loss due its chronicity and the need for extensive and long term support (hospitalization and nursing home care) from the disease sequelae. This is especially true in more elderly patients. Additionally, although osteoporosis is not generally thought of as a life threatening condition, a 20~ to 30~ mortality rate is attributed to hip fractures in elderly women. A large percentage of this mortality rate can be directly associated with post-menopausal osteoporosis.
Throughout pre-menopausal time, most women have less incidence of cardiovascular disease than age-matched men.
Following menopause, however, the rate of cardiovascular disease in women slowly increases to match the rate seen in men. This loss of protection has been linked to the loss of estrogen and, in particular, to the loss of estrogen's ability to regulate the levels of serum lipids. The nature of estrogen's ability to regulate serum lipids is not well understood, but evidence to date indicates that estrogen can upregulate the low density lipid (LDL? receptors in the liver to remove excess cholesterol. Additionally, estrogen appears to have some effect on the biosynthesis of cholesterol, and other beneficial effects on cardiovascular health.
Although estrogen replacement therapy is often prescribed for the estrogen deprivation syndrome, it suffers from poor patient compliance as many women object to some of the side-effects and the inconvenience of the pharmaceutical forms of the medication. For example, 17-~i-estradiol is often administered via a transdermal patch, due to its poor oral absorption. As a result, a majority of women cease taking estrogen within the first year of beginning estrogen replacement therapy.

The current invention provides methods for inhibiting estrogen deprivation syndrome in mammals which includes administering to a mammal in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of formula I:
Ri R
I;
where:
R and R' are independently hydrogen, hydroxy, C1-C6 alkoxy, OCH2Ar, OCO ( C1-C6 alkyl ) , OCOAr; and Ar is phenyl or substituted phenyl; or a solvate thereof.

R4 is pyrolidin-1-yl, piperidin-1-yl, or hexamethyleneimin-1-yl;
. where the nitrogen of the R4 group is optionally the N-oxide; or a pharmaceutical salt or solvate thereof.
Furthermore, the present invention concerns pharmaceutical formulations, comprising a compound of formula I, or compounds of formula I and II, and pharmaceutical excipients, diluents, or carriers.
General terms used in the description of compounds, methods, and formulations herein bear their usual meanings. For example, "C1-C4 alkyl" refers to methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, cyclopropyl, n-butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, and cyclobutyl. The term "C1-C6 alkyl"
encompasses those listed for C1-C4 alkyl in addition to monovalent, straight, branched, or cyclic aliphatic chains of 5 or 6 carbon atoms including pentyl, cyclopentyl, hexyl, 2-methyl pentyl, cyclohexyl, and the like. The term "C1-C4 alkoxy" refers to methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, iso-propoxy, cyclopropoxy, n-butoxy, s-butoxy, t-butoxy, and cyclobutoxy. The term "C1-C6 alkoxy"
5 encompasses those listed for C1-C4 alkoxy in addition to straight, branched, or cyclic aliphatic chains of 5 or 6 carbon atoms which are attached through a monovalent oxygen atom and include but are not limited to, pentoxy, cyclopentoxy, hexoxy, 2-methylpentoxy, cyclohexoxy, and the like.
The term phalide" refers to chloride, bromide, or iodide.
The term usubstituted phenyl" refers to a phenyl group having one to three substituents selected from the group consisting of C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, chloro, fluoro, or tri(chloro or fluoro)methyl.
Although the free-base form of formula II compounds can be used in the methods of the present invention, it is preferred to prepare and use a pharmaceutical salt form. Typical pharmaceutical salts include those salts prepared by reaction of the compounds of formula II with a mineral or organic acid. Such salts are known as acid addition salts. Thus, the term apharmaceutical salt"
refers to acid addition salts of a compound of formula II
which are substantially non-toxic at the doses administered and are commonly known in the pharmaceutical literature. See e.g. Berge, S.M, Bighley, L.D., and Monkhouse, D.C., J. Pharm. Sci., 66, 1, 1977. The pharmaceutical salts generally have enhanced solubility characteristics compared to the compound from which they are derived, and thus are often more amenable for use in pharmaceutical formulations.
Examples of pharmaceutical salts are the iodide, acetate, phenylacetate, trifluoroacetate, acrylate, ascorbate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, methoxybenzoate, methylbenzoate, o-acetoxybenzoate, naphthalene-2-benzoate, bromide, isobutyrate, phenylbutyrate, g-hydroxybutyrate, b-hydroxybutyrate, butyne-1,4-dioate, hexyne-1,4-dioate, hexyne-1,6-dioate, caproate, caprylate, chloride, cinnamate, citrate, decanoate, formate, fumarate, glycollate, heptanoate, hippurate, lactate, malate, maleate, hydroxymaleate, malonate, mandelate, mesylate, nicotinate, isonicotinate, nitrate, oxalate, phthalate, terephthalate, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, propiolate, propionate, phenylpropionate, salicylate, sebacate, succinate, suberate, sulfate, bisulfate, pyrosulfate, sulfite, bisulfate, sulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-bromophenylsulfonate, chlorobenzenesulfonate, propanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, methanesulfonate, naphthalene-1-sulfonate, naphthalene-2-sulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, xylenesulfonate, tartarate, and the like of a compound of formula II.
The term usolvate" represents an aggregate that comprises one or more molecules of the solute, such as a compound of formula I or II, with one or more molecules of solvent. Such solvent molecules would be those commonly used in the pharmaceutical literature, which are known to be non-detrimental to the recipient, e.g., water and ethanol.
The term Nthermodynamic basep refers to a base which provides a reversible deprotonation of an acidic substrate, or is employed as a proton trap when a proton is a byproduct of a reaction, and is reactive enough to effect the desired reaction without significantly effecting any undesired reactions. Examples of thermodynamic bases include, but are not limited to, carbonates, bicarbonates, and hydroxides (e. g. lithium, sodium, or potassium carbonate, bicarbonate, or hydroxide), tri-(C1-Cq alkyl)amines, or aromatic nitrogen containing heterocycles (e. g. pyridine).
The term "estrogen deprivation syndrome"
contemplates those pathologies and conditions brought about by the loss of ovarian function (e.ither natural, surgically, or chemically induced) and specifically to the loss of the ovarian hormones, especially estrogen.
Since loss of estrogen is causative for the symptoms of the syndrome, each of those symptoms responds to the replacement of the lost estrogen hormone through the administration of the compounds of the current invention.
Thus, the compounds and methods of the current invention would be useful and beneficial in treating or preventing estrogen deficiency symptoms, which include but are not limited to the following: osteoporosis, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, vasomotor abnormalities (hot flashes), auto-immune diseases, skin and hair abnormalities, cardio-vascular disease and degeneration, dementia and Alzheimer's disease, depression, weight gain or loss, certain types and conditions of diabetes, inappropriate healing and tissue repair, vaginal atrophy, urinary incontinence, sequelae of abnormal regulation of estrogen controlled genes, intra alia. It should be recognized that not all patients being treated for estrogen deprivation syndrome symptoms will necessarily have all the various pathologies listed, supra, thus, the specific use of the compounds and methods of the current invention may vary depending on the idiosyncratic nature and severity of those symptoms.
The terms "inhibit" or uinhibiting" mean prohibiting, treating, alleviating, ameliorating, halting, restraining, slowing or reversing the progression, or reducing the severity of a pathological symptom related to or resultant from estrogen deprivation syndrome. As such, these methods include both medical WO 99/25707 ~ PCT1US98/23719 therapeutic (acute) and/or prophylactic (prevention) administration as appropriate.
As used herein, the term "effective amount" means an amount of compound or compounds of the present invention which is capable of inhibiting the symptoms of the various pathological conditions and symptoms, herein described.
By "pharmaceutical formulation," 4pharmaceutical carrier," "pharmaceutical diluent," and "pharmaceutical excipientH it is meant that in a formulation containing a compound of formula I or a formulation containing a combination of a compound of formula I and II, the carrier, diluent, excipients, and salt are compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation, and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
While all of the compounds of the present invention are useful, certain of the compounds are particularly interesting and are preferred. For example, compounds of formula I where R and R1 are independently hydroxy or methoxy are preferred. The compound of formula I where R
and R1 are both hydroxy, i.e. 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene, is most preferred. In addition, the hydrochloride salt of the compound of formula II where R2 and R3 are both hydrogen, and R4 is piperidin-1-yl is also particularly preferred. This compound of formula II is [2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-hydroxybenzo[b]thien-3-yl][4-[2-(1-piperidinyl)ethoxy]phenyl]methanone hydrochloride i.e.
Raloxifene hydrochloride.
While all the formulations and methods employing a combination of a compound of formula I and II are useful, the possible combinations employing the preferred compounds listed above are particularly interesting and preferred. Most preferred is the combination of 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene and Raloxifene hydrochloride.
The compounds of formula I may be prepared from compounds of formula III and IV as illustrated in Scheme 1 below where R and R1 are as described-supra.

Compounds of formula III may be S-alkylated with a phenacyl halide of formula IV. Such S-alkylations are carried out in a solvent in the presence of a thermodynamic base at temperatures between OoC and 100oC
for one to twenty-four hours. A preferred solvent and base are typically ethanol and potassium hydroxide respectively. The reaction is preferably performed at ambient temperature for one to three hours. A preferred halide for the compound of formula IV is bromide.
The resulting compounds of formula V are cyclized to the compounds of formula I by treatment with an acid in a suitable solvent at a temperature between 50oC and 200oC
for one to twenty-four hours. A preferred solvent and acid is polyphosphoric acid.
WO 99/25707 PCT/US98I~3719 When R and/or R' is to be hydroxy, it is preferred that the above sequence be performed with a compound of formula III and/or IV where R and/or R1 is C1-C6 alkoxy, OCH2Ar, OCO(C1-C6 alkyl), or OCOAr. The compounds of 5 formula I where R and/or R' are hydroxy may then be prepared after the cyclization step by-removing the C1-C6 alkyl, CH2Ar, CO(C1-C6 alkyl), or COAr moieties (protecting groups) from the resulting compounds of formula I. Methods for removing these protecting groups 10 may be found in the Examples section which follows or in Chapter 2 of "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd Edition, T. H. Greene, et al., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991.
Compounds of formula I where R and R' are not hydrogen and only one of R or R1 is hydroxy, may be prepared from compounds of formula I where R and R' are independently and differently C1-C6 alkoxy, OCH2Ar, OCO(CI-C6 alkyl), or OCOAr by removing selectively one of the protecting groups. Protecting groups which facilitate a selective removal and methods for the selective removal of one protecting group over the other are well known in the art. One example where selective removal is possible is where one protecting group is benzyl and the other is C1-Cq alkyl. The benzyl group may be removed selectively by catalytic hydrogenation. For further instruction on selective removal of these protecting groups see the Examples section which follows and the Greene reference cited above.
For further instruction on the preparation of compounds of formula I see U.S. Patent No.'s. 4,133,814 and 4,418,068 and the publication, Jones, C.D., et al., J. Med. Chem., 27, pp. 1057-1066 (1984), the teachings of which each are herein incorporated by reference.
The compounds of formula II which are not N-oxides, and their pharmaceutical salts, may also be prepared as taught in the previously incorporated U.S. Patents and also as taught in U.S. Patent No.'s 5,393,763 and 5,629,425, and PCT publication #US97/04259, the teachings of which each are herein incorporated by reference.
The compounds of formula II which are N-oxides may be prepared by dissolving or suspending~a compound of formula II which is not an N-oxide in dilute aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide with a co-solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Reaction conditions for this reaction may range from ambient temperature to 100oC and in duration from 24 to 72 hours. It should be noted that care must be taken in selecting the oxidizing agent and that many commonly used agents, e.g., chromic anhydride, potassium permanganate, and the like, capable of oxidizing the nitrogen can not be used, since they would also oxidize the sulfur of the benzo[b]thiophene. Thus, a milder agent such as hydrogen peroxide is preferred.
The optimal time for performing the reactions described herein can be determined by monitoring the progress of the reaction via conventional chromatographic techniques. Furthermore, it is preferred to conduct the reactions of the invention under an inert atmosphere, such as, for example, argon, or, particularly, nitrogen.
Choice of solvent is generally not critical so long as the solvent employed is inert to the ongoing reaction and sufficiently solubilizes the reactants to effect the desired reaction. Intermediate and final products may be purified, if desired by common techniques such as recrystallization or chromatography over solid supports such as silica gel or alumina.
Compounds of formula III and IV are either commercially available or may be prepared by methods well known in the art.

The term phalide" refers to chloride, bromide, or iodide.
The term usubstituted phenyl" refers to a phenyl group having one to three substituents selected from the group consisting of C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, chloro, fluoro, or tri(chloro or fluoro)methyl.
Although the free-base form of formula II compounds can be used in the methods of the present invention, it is preferred to prepare and use a pharmaceutical salt form. Typical pharmaceutical salts include those salts prepared by reaction of the compounds of formula II with a mineral or organic acid. Such salts are known as acid addition salts. Thus, the term apharmaceutical salt"
refers to acid addition salts of a compound of formula II
which are substantially non-toxic at the doses administered and are commonly known in the pharmaceutical literature. See e.g. Berge, S.M, Bighley, L.D., and Monkhouse, D.C., J. Pharm. Sci., 66, 1, 1977. The pharmaceutical salts generally have enhanced solubility characteristics compared to the compound from which they are derived, and thus are often more amenable for use in pharmaceutical formulations.
Examples of pharmaceutical salts are the iodide, acetate, phenylacetate, trifluoroacetate, acrylate, ascorbate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, methoxybenzoate, methylbenzoate, o-acetoxybenzoate, naphthalene-2-benzoate, bromide, isobutyrate, phenylbutyrate, g-hydroxybutyrate, b-hydroxybutyrate, butyne-1,4-dioate, hexyne-1,4-dioate, hexyne-1,6-dioate, caproate, caprylate, chloride, cinnamate, citrate, decanoate, formate, fumarate, glycollate, heptanoate, hippurate, lactate, malate, maleate, hydroxymaleate, malonate, mandelate, mesylate, nicotinate, isonicotinate, nitrate, oxalate, phthalate, terephthalate, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, propiolate, propionate, phenylpropionate, salicylate, sebacate, succinate, suberate, sulfate, bisulfate, pyrosulfate, sulfite, bisulfate, sulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-bromophenylsulfonate, chlorobenzenesulfonate, propanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, methanesulfonate, naphthalene-1-sulfonate, naphthalene-2-sulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, xylenesulfonate, tartarate, and the like of a compound of formula II.
The term usolvate" represents an aggregate that comprises one or more molecules of the solute, such as a compound of formula I or II, with one or more molecules of solvent. Such solvent molecules would be those commonly used in the pharmaceutical literature, which are known to be non-detrimental to the recipient, e.g., water and ethanol.
The term Nthermodynamic basep refers to a base which provides a reversible deprotonation of an acidic substrate, or is employed as a proton trap when a proton is a byproduct of a reaction, and is reactive enough to effect the desired reaction without significantly effecting any undesired reactions. Examples of thermodynamic bases include, but are not limited to, carbonates, bicarbonates, and hydroxides (e. g. lithium, sodium, or potassium carbonate, bicarbonate, or hydroxide), tri-(C1-Cq alkyl)amines, or aromatic nitrogen containing heterocycles (e. g. pyridine).
The term "estrogen deprivation syndrome"
contemplates those pathologies and conditions brought about by the loss of ovarian function (e.ither natural, surgically, or chemically induced) and specifically to the loss of the ovarian hormones, especially estrogen.
Since loss of estrogen is causative for the symptoms of the syndrome, each of those symptoms responds to the replacement of the lost estrogen hormone through the administration of the compounds of the current invention.
Thus, the compounds and methods of the current invention would be useful and beneficial in treating or preventing estrogen deficiency symptoms, which include but are not limited to the following: osteoporosis, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, vasomotor abnormalities (hot flashes), auto-immune diseases, skin and hair abnormalities, cardio-vascular disease and degeneration, dementia and Alzheimer's disease, depression, weight gain or loss, certain types and conditions of diabetes, inappropriate healing and tissue repair, vaginal atrophy, urinary incontinence, sequelae of abnormal regulation of estrogen controlled genes, intra alia. It should be recognized that not all patients being treated for estrogen deprivation syndrome symptoms will necessarily have all the various pathologies listed, supra, thus, the specific use of the compounds and methods of the current invention may vary depending on the idiosyncratic nature and severity of those symptoms.
The terms "inhibit" or uinhibiting" mean prohibiting, treating, alleviating, ameliorating, halting, restraining, slowing or reversing the progression, or reducing the severity of a pathological symptom related to or resultant from estrogen deprivation syndrome. As such, these methods include both medical WO 99/25707 ~ PCT1US98/23719 therapeutic (acute) and/or prophylactic (prevention) administration as appropriate.
As used herein, the term "effective amount" means an amount of compound or compounds of the present invention which is capable of inhibiting the symptoms of the various pathological conditions and symptoms, herein described.
By "pharmaceutical formulation," 4pharmaceutical carrier," "pharmaceutical diluent," and "pharmaceutical excipientH it is meant that in a formulation containing a compound of formula I or a formulation containing a combination of a compound of formula I and II, the carrier, diluent, excipients, and salt are compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation, and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.
While all of the compounds of the present invention are useful, certain of the compounds are particularly interesting and are preferred. For example, compounds of formula I where R and R1 are independently hydroxy or methoxy are preferred. The compound of formula I where R
and R1 are both hydroxy, i.e. 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene, is most preferred. In addition, the hydrochloride salt of the compound of formula II where R2 and R3 are both hydrogen, and R4 is piperidin-1-yl is also particularly preferred. This compound of formula II is [2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-hydroxybenzo[b]thien-3-yl][4-[2-(1-piperidinyl)ethoxy]phenyl]methanone hydrochloride i.e.
Raloxifene hydrochloride.
While all the formulations and methods employing a combination of a compound of formula I and II are useful, the possible combinations employing the preferred compounds listed above are particularly interesting and preferred. Most preferred is the combination of 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene and Raloxifene hydrochloride.
The compounds of formula I may be prepared from compounds of formula III and IV as illustrated in Scheme 1 below where R and R1 are as described-supra.

Compounds of formula III may be S-alkylated with a phenacyl halide of formula IV. Such S-alkylations are carried out in a solvent in the presence of a thermodynamic base at temperatures between OoC and 100oC
for one to twenty-four hours. A preferred solvent and base are typically ethanol and potassium hydroxide respectively. The reaction is preferably performed at ambient temperature for one to three hours. A preferred halide for the compound of formula IV is bromide.
The resulting compounds of formula V are cyclized to the compounds of formula I by treatment with an acid in a suitable solvent at a temperature between 50oC and 200oC
for one to twenty-four hours. A preferred solvent and acid is polyphosphoric acid.
WO 99/25707 PCT/US98I~3719 When R and/or R' is to be hydroxy, it is preferred that the above sequence be performed with a compound of formula III and/or IV where R and/or R1 is C1-C6 alkoxy, OCH2Ar, OCO(C1-C6 alkyl), or OCOAr. The compounds of 5 formula I where R and/or R' are hydroxy may then be prepared after the cyclization step by-removing the C1-C6 alkyl, CH2Ar, CO(C1-C6 alkyl), or COAr moieties (protecting groups) from the resulting compounds of formula I. Methods for removing these protecting groups 10 may be found in the Examples section which follows or in Chapter 2 of "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd Edition, T. H. Greene, et al., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991.
Compounds of formula I where R and R' are not hydrogen and only one of R or R1 is hydroxy, may be prepared from compounds of formula I where R and R' are independently and differently C1-C6 alkoxy, OCH2Ar, OCO(CI-C6 alkyl), or OCOAr by removing selectively one of the protecting groups. Protecting groups which facilitate a selective removal and methods for the selective removal of one protecting group over the other are well known in the art. One example where selective removal is possible is where one protecting group is benzyl and the other is C1-Cq alkyl. The benzyl group may be removed selectively by catalytic hydrogenation. For further instruction on selective removal of these protecting groups see the Examples section which follows and the Greene reference cited above.
For further instruction on the preparation of compounds of formula I see U.S. Patent No.'s. 4,133,814 and 4,418,068 and the publication, Jones, C.D., et al., J. Med. Chem., 27, pp. 1057-1066 (1984), the teachings of which each are herein incorporated by reference.
The compounds of formula II which are not N-oxides, and their pharmaceutical salts, may also be prepared as taught in the previously incorporated U.S. Patents and also as taught in U.S. Patent No.'s 5,393,763 and 5,629,425, and PCT publication #US97/04259, the teachings of which each are herein incorporated by reference.
The compounds of formula II which are N-oxides may be prepared by dissolving or suspending~a compound of formula II which is not an N-oxide in dilute aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide with a co-solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Reaction conditions for this reaction may range from ambient temperature to 100oC and in duration from 24 to 72 hours. It should be noted that care must be taken in selecting the oxidizing agent and that many commonly used agents, e.g., chromic anhydride, potassium permanganate, and the like, capable of oxidizing the nitrogen can not be used, since they would also oxidize the sulfur of the benzo[b]thiophene. Thus, a milder agent such as hydrogen peroxide is preferred.
The optimal time for performing the reactions described herein can be determined by monitoring the progress of the reaction via conventional chromatographic techniques. Furthermore, it is preferred to conduct the reactions of the invention under an inert atmosphere, such as, for example, argon, or, particularly, nitrogen.
Choice of solvent is generally not critical so long as the solvent employed is inert to the ongoing reaction and sufficiently solubilizes the reactants to effect the desired reaction. Intermediate and final products may be purified, if desired by common techniques such as recrystallization or chromatography over solid supports such as silica gel or alumina.
Compounds of formula III and IV are either commercially available or may be prepared by methods well known in the art.

The examples given below demonstrating the utility of the current invention are given for the purpose of illustration and should not be considered limiting in any way. The experimental model used in this demonstration is a model developed to mimic two of the major pathologies associated with human estrogen deprivation, i.e., hyperlipidemia and osteoporosis.
General Procedure Seventy-five day old female Sprague Dawley rats (weight range of 200g to 225g) are obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Portage, MI). The animals are either bilaterally ovariectomized (OVX) or exposed to a Sham surgical procedure at Charles River Laboratories, and then shipped after one week. Upon arrival, they are housed in metal hanging cages in groups of 3 or 4 per cage and have ad l.ibitum access to food (calcium content approximately 0.5~) and water for one week. Room temperature is maintained at 22.2° ~ 1.7° C with a minimum relative humidity of 40~. The photoperiod in the room is 12 hours light and 12 hours dark.
D9sina Regimen Tissue Collection After a one week acclimation period (two weeks post-OVX) daily dosing with test compound or 17-a-ethynyl estradiol is initiated. The doses are given orally, unless otherwise stated, as a suspension in 1~
carboxymethyicellulose or dissolved in 20~ cyclodextrin.
Animals are dosed daily for 4 days. Following the dosing regimen, animals are weighed and anesthetized with a ketamine: Xylazine (2:1, V:V) mixture and a blood sample wo ~ns~o~ . PCTIUS98n3719 is collected by cardiac puncture. The animals are then sacrificed by asphyxiation with C02, the uterus was removed through a midline incision, and a wet uterine weight was determined.
Hvperlipidemia (Chole~te~o~ Analysis) Blood samples are allowed to clot at ambient temperature for 2 hours, and serum is obtained following centrifugation for 10 minutes at 3000 rpm. Serum 10 cholesterol is determined using a Boehringer Mannheim Diagnostics high performance cholesterol assay. Briefly, the cholesterol is oxidized to cholest-4-en-3-one and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is then reacted with phenol and 4-aminophenazone in the presence of 15 peroxidase to produce a p-quinone imine dye, which is read spectrophotemetrically at 500 nm. Cholesterol concentration is then calculated against a standard curve. The entire assay is automated using a Biomek Automated Workstation.
20 Representative compounds of the present invention reduced serum cholesterol compared to the ovariectomized control animals.
Osteoporosis Following the General Procedure, infra, the rats are treated daily for 35 days (6 rats per treatment group) and sacrificed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation on the 36th day. The 35 day time period is sufficient to allow maximal reduction in bone density, measured as described herein. At the time of sacrifice, the uteri are removed, dissected free of extraneous tissue, and the fluid contents are expelled before determination of wet weight in order to confirm estrogen deficiency associated with complete ovariectomy. Uterine weight is routinely reduced about 75$ in response to ovariectomy. The uteri are then placed in 10~ neutral buffered formalin to allow for subsequent histological analysis.

The right femurs are excised and digitilized x-rays generated and analyzed by an image analysis program (NIH
image) at the distal metaphysis. The proximal aspect of the tibiae from these animals are also scanned by quantitative computed tomography.
In accordance with the above procedures, representative compounds of the present invention and ethynyl estradiol (EE2) in 20~ hydroxypropyl ~-cyclodextrin are orally administered to test animals and demonstrate a positive result, i.e., a reduction in the loss of bone mineral density.
The specific dose of a compound of formula I will, of course, be determined by the particular circumstances surrounding the case. Similarly, the route of administration is a factor determined by the specifics of each case. Thus, the exact dose and route of administration are best determined by the attending physician A typical daily dose of a compound of formula I would contain a nontoxic dosage level of from about 0.001 mg to about 800 mg/day. Preferred daily doses generally will be from about 0.001 mg to about 60 mg/day.
Such a dosage may be given as a single dose or may be divided into two or three separate doses per day as necessary.
As mentioned, supra, the compounds of formula I may be used with a compound of formula II. Again, the exact amounts of the two agents (formula I and II compounds) may vary depending the nature of the symptoms to be treated as well as the patient's medical status. In general, such combinations would include 0.001 mg to 60 mg of a compound of formula I and 1.0 to 120 mg of a compound of formula II. A preferred combination would be one comprising 0.001 to 1 mg of a compound of formula I
and 59 to 59.999 mg of a compound of formula II. A more preferred combination would be one comprising 0.001 to 0.1 mg of a compound of formula I and 59.9 to 59.999 mg of a compound of formula II. An even more preferred combination would comprise 0.001 to 0.1 mg of a preferred compound of formula I (where R and R1 are independently hydroxy or methoxy) and 59.9 to 59.999 mg of Raloxifene hydrochloride. Most preferred is the combination comprising 0.001 to 0.1 mg of the most preferred compound of formula I (where R and R1 are both hydroxy) and 59.9 to 59.999 mg of Raloxifene hydrochloride.
The compounds of this invention can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, rectal, transdermal, buccal, aerosal, topical, opthalmic, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intranasal, and the like. These compounds preferably are formulated prior to administration, the selection of which will be decided by the attending physician. Thus, another aspect of the present invention is a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an effective amount of a compound of Formula I
or a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an effective amount of a compound of formula I and II, or a pharmaceutical salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical carrier, diluent, or excipient. The total active ingredients in such formulations comprises from 0.1~ to 99.9 by weight of the formulation.
Pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention can be prepared by procedures known in the art using well known and readily available ingredients. For example, the compounds of formula I or the compounds of formula I
and II can be formulated with common excipients, diluents, or carriers, and formed into tablets, capsules, suspensions, powders, and the like. Examples of excipients, diluents, and carriers that are suitable for such formulations include the following: fillers and extenders such as starch, sugars, mannitol, and silicic derivatives; binding agents such as carboxymethyl cellulose and other cellulose derivatives, alginates, WO 99/25707 ~ PCTIUS98I23719 gelatin, and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone; moisturizing agents such as glycerol; disintegrating agents such as calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate; agents for retarding dissolution such as paraffin; resorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds; surface active agents such as cetyl alcohol, glycerol monostearate;
adsorptive carriers such as kaolin and bentonite; and lubricants such as talc, calcium and magnesium stearate, and solid polyethyl glycols.
The compounds also can be formulated as elixirs or solutions for convenient oral administration or as solutions appropriate for parenteral administration, for example, by intramuscular, subcutaneous or intravenous routes. Additionally, the compounds are well suited to formulation as sustained release dosage forms and the like. The formulations can be so constituted that they release the active ingredient only or preferably in a particular physiological location, possibly over a period of time. The coatings, envelopes, and protective matrices may be made, for example, from polymeric substances or waxes.
