Biochem/physiol Actions

Metabolite of the chemotherapeutic drug tamoxifen, exhibiting more potent estrogen agonist/antagonist activity than the parent drug. Also active as intra-membranous inhibitor of lipid peroxidation.

General description

4-Hydroxytamoxifen is a first generation, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that functions as an antagonist in breast cancer cells but can display estrogen-like activities in the uterus and bone.
