Elacestrant is an Orally Available SERD (Estrogen Receptor Degrader )

Estrogen receptor (ER) is a ligand-induced intracellular transcription factor that mediates the biological effects of estrogen at the level of most gene regulation. The biological effect of estrogen is mediated by ER, which is a member of nuclear receptor family. Specifically, these receptors act as ligand-activated transcription factors. There...

AZD-9833 is an Orally Active Estrogen Receptor (ER) Antagonist

Estrogens participate in numerous physiological processes such as cell growth, reproduction, and differentiation. In females, the ovaries are the major site of estrogen synthesis producing the predominant estrogen 17b-estradiol (E2). In addition to effects by E2 on normal physiology, estrogens also play an important role in several pathological processes...
