The main compounds that have demonstrated a pure antiestrogenic activity in the laboratory are the following (Fig. 6.1) ... 

Other compounds, such as ZK-703 and ZK-253, are currently under preclinical testing, and preliminary data show a pure antiestrogen activity in xenograft breast cancer models (Hoffmann et al. 2004). 

Finally, it has been suggested that fulvestrant, in addition to its antiestrogenic activity, has also significant antiprogestin activity, comparable to the activity of the antiprogestin RU-486 (Nawaz et al. 1999).

The estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities of several PBDE congeners and three hydroxylated PBDEs were tested in vitro using human breast cell line assays based on estrogen receptor (ER)-dependent luciferase reporter gene expression (Mccrts et al. 2001). The hydroxylated PBDEs,... 

Polybrominated Biphenyls. PBBs have the potential to interact with the endocrine system based on effects that mainly include changes in levels of thyroid and female reproductive hormones. No studies were located that investigated the estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity of PBBs in vitro or in vivo at the level of the estrogen receptor.

Chlorotrianisene does not bind in vitro to the uterine estrogen receptor but has potent estrogenic and antiestrogenic actions in vivo, suggesting that it is a prodrug. Its antiestrogenic activity has been proposed to be due to a reactive intermediate (1). 

Idoxifene is another of the newer selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), and preclinical data show that it has greater antiestrogenic activity than tamoxifen but lower estrogenic activity. It is not yet clear whether this affects its degree of usefulness or safety when it is used, for example, in cases of metastatic breast cancer. In comparisons of the two drugs in such patients the desired effects were similar and the incidence of adverse effects was essentially the same (14).
