Idoxifene (INN, USAN, BAN) (former developmental code names CB-7432, SB-223030), also known as pyrrolidino-4-iodotamoxifen, is a nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) of the triphenylethylene group which was under development for the treatment of breast cancer and postmenopausal osteoporosis but was never marketed.[1][2][3] It reached phase III clinical trials for postmenopausal osteoporosis and phase II clinical trials for breast cancer before development was discontinued in 1999 due to insufficient effectiveness in both cases.[1]

Chemistry

Synthesis

A large-scale chemical synthesis of idoxifene has been devised.[4]
