Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27346789 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21378205

Endoxifen, also known as N-desmethyl-4-hydroxytamoxifen, is active metabolites of tamoxifen. This metabolite exhibits a 100-fold higher binding affinity to the estrogen receptor (ER) and are more effective in suppressing cell proliferation than tamoxifen. In humans, the conversion from tamoxifen to endoxifen is predominant. Endoxifenis is an orally active, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that was developed for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. In addition, this drug possesses antimanic properties, what can be used in the treatment of patients with bipolar I disorder (BPD I).

CNS Activity

Sources: Known to be CNS penetrant in mouse, although P-glycoprotein limits its brain penetration. Human data not available
Curator's Comment: Endoxifen is a P-gp substrate in vitro and in vivo, where P-gp limits its brain penetration.

MCF-7 cells were treated with the test compounds ((E/Z)-Endoxifen) at the indicated concentrations in the presence or absence of 10 mkM of MG132 for 6 h, and then the cells were collected and extracted with lysis buffer (1% SDS, 0.1 M Tris–HCl (pH 7.0), 10% glycerol) and boiled for 10 min. Protein concentrations were determined by the BCA method, and equal amounts of protein lysate were separated by SDS–PAGE, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and Western blotted using the following antibodies: anti-human ERa mouse monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz), anti-b-actin mouse monoclonal antibody (SIGMA), and anti-human cIAP1 goat polyclonal antibody (R&D systems).
