Small molecule ERα biomodulators that kill therapy-resistant ERa positive breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer cells are disclosed. In one embodiment, the small molecule biomodulator has increased therapeutic utility because of an increased ability to kill therapy-resistant cancer cells compared to BHPI and other conventional therapies (endocrine therapies, tamoxifen, and fulvestrant/ICI). The small molecule biomodulators not only inhibit proliferation of the cancer cells but kills them, which prevents reactivation of tumors years later. Compounds of the invention, such as ErSO-DFP, are effective for treating ERa positive cancers such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, cervical carcinoma, endometrial cancer, and the like.
本文披露了一种小分子ERα
生物调节剂,可杀死难治性ERa阳性的乳腺癌、卵巢癌和子宫内膜癌细胞。在一种实施例中,这种小分子
生物调节剂具有增强的治疗效用,因为与BH
PI和其他常规疗法(内分泌疗法,
他莫昔芬和
富马酸/ICI)相比,它具有更强的杀死难治性癌细胞的能力。这些小分子
生物调节剂不仅抑制癌细胞的增殖,还能杀死它们,这可以防止数年后肿瘤重新激活。本发明的化合物,例如ErSO-DFP,对于治疗ERa阳性的癌症如乳腺癌、卵巢癌、子宫癌、宫颈癌、子宫内膜癌等是有效的。
