Functional Characterization of a Genetic Polymorphism in the Promoter of the ESR2 Gene
The ESR2 gene encodes the estrogen receptor beta protein. Several studies have shown that genetic variants in the ESR2 gene are associated with a variety of clinical phenotypes. However, very little is known abou...

Inhibition of drug metabolizing cytochrome P450s by the aromatase inhibitor drug letrozole and its major oxidative metabolite 4,4′-methanol-bisbenzonitrile in vitro
To determine the inhibitory potency of letrozole and its main human metabolite, 4,4′-methanol-bisbenzonitrile, on the activities of eight cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes.

Endoxifen (4-hydroxy-N-desmethyl-tamoxifen) has anti-estrogenic effects in breast cancer cells with potency similar to 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen
Tamoxifen is an effective drug for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. It is extensively metabolized by the human cytochrome P450 enzyme system into several metabolites. Of these, 4-hydroxy-tamoxife...
