Scanning for clues to better use selective estrogen receptor modulators.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ingle and colleagues present timely findings identifying genetic variants associated with response to selective estrogen receptor modulator therapy that when substantiated in follow-up may represent an important step toward understanding estrogen-dependent induction of BRCA1 expression and advancing individualized preventive medicine in women at high risk for developing breast cancer.

Therapeutic androgen receptor ligands
In the past several years, the concept of tissue-selective nuclear receptor ligands has emerged. This concept has come to fruition with estrogens, with the successful marketing of drugs such as raloxifene. The discovery of raloxifene and other selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) has raised the possibility of generating selective compounds for other pathways, including androgens (that...
متن کاملPharmacophore Mapping of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators
Breast cancer and osteoporosis are the common manifestations of post-menopausal women, and estrogen is responsible for these diseases. Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) act as selective agonist and/or antagonistic effects to the different tissues, and use as first line treatment in estrogen responsive breast cancer and osteoporosis. To design promising SERM, the present study has b...
متن کاملSelective estrogen receptor modulators and phytoestrogens.
Scientific achievements in the last two decades have revolutionized the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. This is mainly because of targeted therapies and a better understanding of the relationship between estrogen, its receptor, and breast cancer. One of these discoveries is the use of synthetic selective estrogen modulators (SERMs) such as tamoxifen in the treatment strategy for estr...
متن کاملThe Effect of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) on the Tamoxifen Resistant Breast Cancer Cells
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are synthetic molecules which bind to estrogen receptors (ER) and can modulate its transcriptional capabilities in different ways in diverse estrogen target tissues. Tamoxifen, the prototypical SERM, is extensively used for targeted therapy of ER positive breast cancers. Unfortunately, the use of tamoxifen is associated with acquired resistance and...
متن کاملSuppression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis using estrogen receptor-selective ligands.
Estrogens have been shown to modulate disease activity in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the mouse model for multiple sclerosis. Consistent with these findings, the severity of disease is reduced in pregnant women with multiple sclerosis when levels of estrogens are high. Estrogens bind to two known estrogen receptors (ER), ERalpha and ERbeta. The relative contribution of thes...
