Description
(E/Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen (Afimoxifene) is a racemic compound of (Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen and (E)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen isomers. (E/Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator with mixed estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity, which is also an active metabolite of Tamoxifen (HY-13757A). (E/Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen is an agonist of the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) with relatively low affinity (100-1000 nM). (E/Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen is promising for research of cyclical mastalgia, such as breast pain, tenderness, and nodularity[1][2][3][4]
