Nafoxidine is a nonsteroidal antiestrogen available as an investigational agent from the Investigational Drug Branch of the National Cancer Institute. It has been used effectively in the treatment of breast cancer patients. Nafoxidine competes with endogenous estrogen for binding to specific estrogen receptors. This agent also inhibits angiogenesis in some tissues by blocking the effects of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); paradoxically, it may enhance angiogenesis in uterine tissue. Nafoxidine also induces oxidative stress, protein kinase C and calcium signaling.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Most breast cancer patients have been treated with a dose of 60 mg three times a day.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
In vitro nafoxidine competitively inhibits binding of [3H]oestradiol in nuclear extracts. The Ki for the inhibition is 43 nM, which indicates an affinity of nafoxidine for the binding protein about 4% of that of oestradiol.
