4-Hydroxytamoxifen
Minimum 70% of Z isomer (remainder primarily E-isomer)
| Synonym: | 4-OHT, trans-4-Hydroxytamoxifen, (Z)-4-(1-[4-(Dimethylaminoethoxy)phenyl]-2-phenyl-1-butenyl)phenol |
| CAS Number: | 68047-06-3 |
| Linear Formula: | C26H29NO2 |

Description
| Biochem/physiol Actions | The trans (Z) isomer has efficacy against estrogen-sensitive cancers. The cis (E) isomer is an estrogen agonist. |
| 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 | Metabolite of the chemotherapeutic drug tamoxifen, exhibiting more potent estrogen agonist/antagonist activity than the parent drug. While the cis (E) isomer is an estrogen agonist, the trans (Z) isomer has efficacy against estrogen-sensitive cancers. Also active as intra-membranous inhibitor of lipid peroxidation. |
