Pharmacology
Tamoxifen belongs to a class of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), which have both estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects. Tamoxifen has the same nucleus as diethylstilbestrol but possesses an additional side chain (trans isomer) which accounts for its antiestrogenic activity. Tamoxifen, chemically related to clomiphene., is used to in the therapy of metastatic breast cancer.
