Bazedoxifene is an nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Bazedoxifene is used as an antiosteoporotic.

ChEBI:Bazedoxifene is a phenylindole.

Bazedoxifene, 1-[[4-[2-(azepan-1-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methylindol-5-ol (Viviant), was declared to be “approvable” bythe FDA in 2007 for the prevention of postmenopausalosteoporosis. As of mid-2009, final approval in the UnitedStates is still pending. Bazedoxifene was approved inEurope in 2009 for the treatment of post–menopausalosteoporosis.

Bazedoxifene is an indole-based SERM that is under investigation for the treatment and prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. It also is being evaluated in combination with Premarin (conjugated estrogens). Bazedoxifene displaces 17β-estradiol from estrogen receptors and has excellent binding affinity for the receptor itself. Unlike raloxifene, this agent does not cause hot flashes at the doses required to have a beneficial effect on bone. In addition, it does not cause uterine or mammary gland stimulation.

This potent and selective estrogen receptor modulator, or SERM (FW = 530.65 g/mol; CAS 198481-33-3; Solubility: 00 mM in DMSO), also named 1-[[4-[2- (hexahydro-1H-azepin-1-yl) ethoxy]phenyl]methyl]-2- (4- hydroxyphenyl) -3-methyl-1H-indol-5-ol, selectivity targets the extrogen receptor ERα (IC50 = 26 nM), with weaker action against ERβ (IC50 = 99 nM), inhibiting 17β-estradiol-induced proliferation of MCF-7 cells. Bazedoxifene represents a promising new treatment for osteoporosis, one with a potential for less uterine and vasomotor effects than selective estrogen receptor modulators now used clinically.
