Biological Activity:
Toremifene Citrate(Fareston, Acapodene) is an oral selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) which helps oppose the actions of estrogen in the body. [1] Chemically related to tamoxifen, toremifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). This agent binds competitively to estrogen receptors, thereby interfering with estrogen activity. Toremifene also has intrinsic estrogenic properties, which are manifested according to tissue type or species. [2]
