Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are now being used as a treatment for breast cancer, osteoporosis and postmenopausal symptoms, as these drugs have features that can act as an estrogen agonist and an antagonist, depending on the target tissue. After tamoxifen, raloxifene, lasofoxifene and bazedoxifene SERMs have been developed and used for treatment. The clinically decisive differ...
متن کاملSelective estrogen receptor modulators suppress mesangial cell collagen synthesis.
Estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are "designer drugs" that exert estrogen-like actions in some cells but not in others. We examined the effects of the SERMs LY-117018 (an analog of raloxifene) and tamoxifen on mesangial cells synthesis of type I and type IV collagen. We found that LY-117018 and tamoxifen suppressed mesangial cell type IV collagen gene transcription and type IV collagen prot...
متن کاملSelective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS).
Hormone receptors and, specifically, estrogen receptors were described about four decades ago. For estrogens, there are two receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta). The two receptors are coded by different genes and their tissue expression varies across organs. ERalpha is predominantly expressed in reproductive tissues (uterus, breast, ovaries) liver and...
متن کاملNew Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) in Development
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) or estrogen agonists/antagonists have shown promise in osteoporosis in that they have the potential to reduce the risk of fracture, and also reduce the risk of breast cancer. SERMs maybe classified according to their core structure, which is typically a variation of the 17 beta-estradiol template and subclassified according to the side chain at the...
متن کاملSelective estrogen receptor modulators and cardiovascular events.
ost of the previous observational studies suggest that estrogen replacement therapy reduces cardiovascular risks,1 but meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials showed increased risk of hormone replacement therapy for cardiovascular events.2 Both hypercoagulability and upregulation of inflammation-sensitive proteins could underline the increased risk of estrogen treatment in coronary artery d...
