H3B-5942 (H3B5942) is a selective, irreversible (covalent) and orally bioavailable estrogen receptor antagonist with antitumor activity (better than fulvestrant). Acts by inactivating both wild-type and mutant ERα by targeting Cys530, with Kis of 1 nM and 0.41 nM, respectively. H3B-5942 reduces ERα target gene GREB1, shows potent antitumor activity both in multiple cell lines or animals bearing ERαWT or ERα mutations.

Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | H3B-5942 is an estrogen receptor covalent antagonist that is selective and irreversible. It works by targeting Cys530 to inactivate both wild-type and mutant ERα, with Kis values of 1 nM and 0.41 nM, respectively [1]. In contrast to SERM/SERD, H3B-5942 has the ability to raise ERα protein levels and inhibit ERα-dependent transcription in breast cancer cells. The ERα target gene GREB1 is reduced by H3B-5942 (0.01-10 μM) in the PDX-ERαY537S/WT line, several MCF7-ERαMUT lines, and MCF7-ERαWT [1]. With GI50 values of 0.5, 2, and 30 nM, respectively, H3B-5942 also inhibited the proliferation of MCF7-Parental, MCF7-LTED-ERαWT, and MCF7-LTED-ERαY537C lines. In a range of cell lines carrying ERαWT or clinically prevalent ERα mutations, H3B-5942 (10–25 nM) exhibits synergistic inhibitory effects when combined with CDK4/6 inhibitors (≥25 pM) [1]. |
| ln Vivo | In the athymic female nude mouse MCF7 xenograft model, H3B-5942 (1, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg orally once daily for 17 days) dose-dependently suppresses tumor growth [1]. H3B-5942 (3, 10, 30, 100, and 200 mg/kg, orally, once daily) demonstrated comparable anti-tumor efficacy in the athymic female nude mouse model of the ERαY537S/WT ST941 [1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Athymic female nude mouse MCF7 xenograft model [1] Doses: 1, 3, 10 or 30 mg/kg Route of Administration: Orally, one time/day (qd×1) for 17 days Experimental Results: Demonstrated tumor growth Inhibition (TGI) on day 17 were 19%, 41%, 68% and 83% respectively. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ~83.33 mg/mL (~168.47 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.21 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.21 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
