Endoxifen, also known as 4-hydroxy-N-desmethyltamoxifen, is a nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor.
It is an active metabolite of tamoxifen and is under development for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and mania in bipolar disorder. It is metabolized from tamoxifen by the CYP2D6 enzyme.
Endoxifen exhibits both estrogenic and antiestrogenic actions and has a higher affinity for estrogen receptors compared to tamoxifen. It is also being investigated for its potential in breast cancer treatment.
