Product Description

Endoxifen, an active metabolite of Tamoxifen, is a potent and selective antagonist of the estrogen receptor that has shown promise in treating patients who have not responded well to earlier hormonal treatments. In MCF-7 cells, doxifen exhibits anti-estrogenic properties and reduces E2-induced PR expression. Endoxifen also prevents the transcriptional activity of ER-alpha and stops the growth of breast cancer cells induced by estrogen. Endoxifen dramatically reduces the rate of cell division in MCF7, HS 578T, and BT-549 cells. In addition, compared to tamoxifen, edoxifen shows a four-fold greater inhibition of PKC activity.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Aromatase; ERα
ln Vitro
Endoxifen, a hydroxylated Tamoxifen metabolite, is approximately 100-fold more effective than tamoxifen as an ER antagonist. It also implies that endoxifen, but not 4-hydroxytamoxifen, causes ER-alpha degradation in addition to its transcription-related effects on the ER[1]. Endoxifen is a strong antiestrogen that causes breast cancer cells' estrogen receptor α to degrade. Furthermore, research demonstrates that even in the presence of tamoxifen, N-desmethyl-tamoxifen, and 4-hydroxytamoxifen, endoxifen inhibits estrogen-induced breast cancer cell proliferation and blocks ERA transcriptional activity[2]. At 10 μM, doxifen significantly inhibits the growth of all breast cancer cell lines, with the exception of MDAMB-468, which experiences only moderate inhibition.At 10 μM concentration, cytotoxic effects on MCF7, HS 578T, and BT-549 cells are quite significant. While the inhibitory effects of Endoxifen at lower concentrations (0.01-1 μM) are not as strong as those of 10 μM, all tested cells die at concentrations of 100 μM[2].
ln Vivo
Endoxifen taken orally is quickly absorbed and available throughout the body when tested in female rats. Rats treated with Endoxifen exhibit 1,500% higher Cmax and 787% higher exposure (AUC0–∞) levels of Endoxifen than Tamoxifen-treated rats. Oral Endoxifen at doses of 2, 4, and 8 mg/kg administered once daily for 28 days in a row is safe and causes the growth of human mammary tumor xenografts in female mice to be gradually inhibited[2].
Animal Protocol
Mice: A subcutaneous (s.c.) implant of a 30-to 40-mg fragment of MCF-7 human mammary tumor from an in vivo passage is made in six-week-old female athymic NCr-nu/nu mice near the right flank. Day 0 is the date of the implantation of the tumor fragments. Each animal has a 0.72-mg 17 β-estradiol 60-day release pellet s.c. implanted in the back of their neck one day before the tumor fragment is inserted, in order to support the growth of the estrogen-dependent MCF-7 tumor. Day 13 following tumor fragment implantation, the day treatment was started, saw the growth of individual tumors to sizes ranging from 75 to 196 mm3. One control group (12 mice/group) and four treatment groups (6 mice/group) are created from a total of thirty-six tumor-bearing mice through randomization. On day 13 after the tumor was implanted, the patient was given oral gavage once a day for 28 days, along with three different doses of Endoxifen (2, 4, and 8 mg/kg) or Tamoxifen (10 mg/kg) twice a day, three hours apart. For every treatment group, the dosage volume of 0.2 mL/10 g body weight remains unchanged. Beginning on the first day of treatment, the s.c. tumors are measured and the animals are weighed twice a week. On Day 58, the research comes to an end. The overall delay in the growth of the median tumor is determined by taking the median time to reach two tumor mass doublings. Furthermore, an additional assessment of the antitumor efficacy is conducted on Days 41, 1 day after the last treatment, and 58, the day the study is terminated, by comparing the median tumor weight in the treatment groups to the median tumor weight in the control group (T/C 9 100%)[2].
