5. Selective estrogen receptor modulator - Wikipedia

   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 ...

6. Exemestane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exemestane

   The main source of estrogen is the ovaries in premenopausal women, while in post-menopausal women most of the body's estrogen is produced via the conversion of androgens into estrogen by the aromatase enzyme in the peripheral tissues (i.e. adipose tissue like that of the breast) and a number of sites in the brain. Estrogen is produced locally ...

7. Steroidal aromatase inhibitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroidal_aromatase_inhibitor

   Steroidal aromatase inhibitors are a class of drugs that are mostly used for treating breast cancer in postmenopausal women. High levels of estrogen in breast tissue increases the risk of developing breast cancer and the enzyme aromatase is considered to be a good therapeutic target when treating breast cancer due to it being involved in the final step of estrogen biosynthetic pathway and also ...

8. Raloxifene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raloxifene

   Raloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and therefore a mixed agonist–antagonist of the estrogen receptor (ER). [6] It has estrogenic effects in bone and antiestrogenic effects in the breasts and uterus. [6] Raloxifene was approved for medical use in the United States in 1997. [6] It is available as a generic medication.

   In particular, estrogen applied topically may have a different spectrum of side effects than when administered orally, [11] and transdermal estrogens do not affect clotting as they are absorbed directly into the systemic circulation, avoiding first-pass metabolism in the liver.
