A McMurry coupling reaction and selective crystallization were used to develop a simple and efficient two-step synthesis of (Z)-4-hydroxytamoxifen (2a). This compound is an active metabolite of tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator widely used to treat breast cancer. The synthesis employed 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylbut-1-ene (1) as a useful building block.

The invention provides a prodrug platform technology for improving the therapeutic value of a variety of parent drug compounds by altering and improving drug characteristics such as aqueous solubility, hydrolytic stability, therapeutic index, toxicity profile, pharmacokinetics and selectivity while allowing the potential for synthetic elaboration. The prodrug platform is particularly well suited for targeting therapeutic drugs, including anti-tumor drugs and antibiotics, to specific receptors on target cells (e.g., cancer cells and bacteria). The platform is a technology for providing an improved, preactivated form of a therapeutic drug, and for optionally targeting such drug to target cells or biological molecules. The invention is broadly applicable to many different therapeutic drugs, as well as to a variety of diseases and conditions, including a variety of forms of cancer and bacterial infections.

We report the development of (E)- and (Z)-4-hydroxytamoxifen sulfamates as estrone sulfatase inhibitors, potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of breast cancer. Both compounds competitively inhibit estrone sulfatase isolated from rat liver with apparent Ki of 35.9 μM for (E)-4-hydroxytamoxifen sulfamate and an apparent Ki of >500 μM for the (Z) isomer.
