It converts the enone ring of androgen precursors such as testosterone, to a phenol, completing the synthesis of estrogen. As such, AIs are estrogen synthesis inhibitors. Because hormone-positive breast and ovarian cancers are dependent on estrogen for ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_estrogen...

   Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), also known as estrogen receptor agonists/antagonists (ERAAs), [1] [2] are a class of drugs that act on estrogen receptors (ERs). [3] Compared to pure ER agonists – antagonists (e.g., full agonists and silent antagonists ), SERMs are more tissue-specific, allowing them to selectively inhibit or ...

   Those cancers have estrogen receptors (ERs), and are called ER-positive. They may also be called estrogen-responsive, hormonally-responsive, or hormone-receptor-positive. Aromatase is an enzyme that synthesizes estrogen. Aromatase inhibitors block the synthesis of estrogen. This lowers the estrogen level, and slows the growth of cancers.
