摘要: The selective estrogen-receptor modulators, or SERMs, chemically diverse nonsteroid compounds, have tertiary structures that permit binding to the estrogen receptor. These compounds either agonist antagonist effects, depending on target tissue. This article reviews current information concerning molecular basis of SERM action and tissue-selective agonist–antagonist effects this class medication. also offers a perspective therapeutic uses SERMs compares with nonestrogen alternatives.
