The estrogen receptor (ER) has played an important role in breast cancer development and progression and is a central target for anticancer drug discovery. In order to develop novel selective ER alpha modulators (SERMs), we designed and synthesized 18 novel 3-aryl-4-anilino-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives based on previously reported lead compounds. The biological results indicated that most of the compounds presented potent ER alpha binding affinity and possessed better anti-proliferative activities against MCF-7 and Ishikawa cell lines than the positive control tamoxifen. The piperidyl substituted compounds such as 16d and 18d demonstrated strong ER alpha binding affinities and excellent anti-proliferative activities respectively. Compound 18d displayed the most potent ER alpha binding affinity with RBA value of 2.83%, while 16d exhibited the best anti-proliferative activity against MCF-7 cells with IC50 value of 4.52 +/- 2.47 mu M. Further molecular docking studies were also carried out to investigate binding pattern of the newly synthesized compounds with ER alpha. All these results together with the structure-activity relationships (SARs) indicated that these 3-aryl-4-anilino-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives with basic side chain could serve as promising leads for further optimization as novel SERMs. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
