Application
(Z)-Endoxifen has been used to demonstrate the lack of contribution of subventricular zone and leptomeningeal cells in a study determining the generation of neuroblasts from astrocytes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
(Z)-Endoxifen (endoxifen) is an active tamoxifen metabolite generated via actions of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes CYP3A4/5 and CYP2D6. Endoxifen is more potent than tamoxifen as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) both in vitro and in vivo with good pharmacokinetics and oral availability (∼80% MCF-7 tumor growth inhibition with 4-8 mg/kg/day endoxifen or 20 mg/kg/day tamoxifen in mice via p.o.). Endoxifen also exhibits 4-fold higher PKC inhibitory potency than tamoxifen and can overcome tamoxifen resistance due to cytochrome CYP2D6 polymorphism.

Tamoxifen (ICI 46 474), trans-1-(4-β-dimethylaminoethoxyphenyl)-1,2-diphenylbut-1-ene, is the most commonly used drug for the treatment of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and has been saving lives worldwide for the past four decades. Tamoxifen is considered a pioneering drug due to its ubiquitous

This issue of Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics (CPT) includes the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guideline for using CYP2D6 genotyping to guide tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer patients. CYP2D6 metabolizes tamoxifen to its more active metabolite, endoxifen, and patients with

Endoxifen is the key active metabolite of tamoxifen, a widely used breast cancer drug. Orally administered tamoxifen, is extensively metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, namely CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, into active metabolites, especially endoxifen. Due to genetic polymorphism of CYP2D6

Inducible Cre-dependent systems are frequently used to produce both conditional knockouts and transgenic mice with regulated expression of the gene of interest. Induction can be achieved by doxycycline-dependent transcription of the wild type gene or OH-tamoxifen-dependent nuclear translocation of the
