6SQ0, 6SUO - PubMed Abstract: 
Herein we report the use of metathesis to construct a novel tetracyclic core in a series of estrogen receptor degraders. This improved the chemical stability, as assessed using an NMR-MS based assay, and gave a molecule with excellent physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetics in rat ...
