Manipulating Estrogenic/Anti-Estrogenic Activity of Triphenylethylenes towards Development of Novel Anti-Neoplastic SERMs
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) act as estrogen receptor (ERα) agonists or antagonists depending on the target issue. Tamoxifen (TAM) (a non-steroidal triphenylethylene derivative) was the first SERM approved as anti-estrogen for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. On the hunt...
