Abstract:
The biological, pharmacological and therapeutic properties of estrogens/antiestrogens are related to their chemical structure. Tamoxifen, used for the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer, and other analogue derivatives of triarylethylene or presenting a cyclic or heterocyclic structure, mimic some of the activities of estrogens. They have major therapeutic potential as selective estrogen receptor modulators in the prevention of breast cancer and various post-menopausal conditions.
