The first titanocenyl dichloride moiety vectorised by a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Synthesis and preliminary biochemical behaviour

The synthesis of 4′, a titanocene derivative of the anticancer drug tamoxifen is presented together with its biochemical properties. Compound 4′ is prepared by a McMurry coupling followed by a ligand exchange. Compound 4′ reveals an unexpected proliferative effect on the hormone-dependent cell line...

Summary:The synthesis of 4′, a titanocene derivative of the anticancer drug tamoxifen is presented together with its biochemical properties. Compound 4′ is prepared by a McMurry coupling followed by a ligand exchange. Compound 4′ reveals an unexpected proliferative effect on the hormone-dependent cell line MCF7. Surprisingly this effect is also observed with Cp 2TiCl 2 alone. The synthesis of 4′, a titanocene derivative of the anticancer drug tamoxifen is presented together with its biochemical properties.
