α-hydroxytamoxifen

α-Hydroxytamoxifen, a metabolite of tamoxifen, reacts with DNA and forms DNA adducts.

Tamoxifen is a medication that is used to prevent breast cancer patients.

4-Hydroxytamoxifen (ICI 79280) is the active metabolite of Tamoxifen, an estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) with selective and oral potency. 4-Hydroxytamoxifen has antitumor activity and may be used in breast cancer research.

(E Z)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen (Afimoxifene) is a novel estrogen inhibitor, commonly used in research for various estrogen-dependent conditions, including cyclic mastalgia and gynecomastia.

(E)-4-Hydroxytamoxifen is a less active isomer of (Z)-4-hydroxytamoxifen and also is an estrogen receptor modulator.

SNIPER(ER)-87 is a chemical compound composed of a derivative of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) ligand LCL161 conjugated to the estrogen receptor α (ERα) ligand 4-hydroxytamoxifen using a PEG linker. It effectively degrades the ERα protein with an IC50 value of 0.097 μM. Within cells, SNIPER(ER)-87 selectively recruits XIAP to ERα, and XIAP functions as the primary E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for the degradation of ERα induced by SNIPER(ER)-87[1][2].
