Metabolite Identification
Common NameTamoxifen N-oxide
DescriptionTamoxifen N-oxide belongs to the class of organic compounds known as stilbenes. These are organic compounds containing a 1,2-diphenylethylene moiety. Stilbenes (C6-C2-C6 ) are derived from the common phenylpropene (C6-C3) skeleton building block. The introduction of one or more hydroxyl groups to a phenyl ring lead to stilbenoids. Tamoxifen N-oxide is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Within humans, tamoxifen N-oxide participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, tamoxifen N-oxide can be biosynthesized from tamoxifen; which is catalyzed by the enzymes dimethylaniline monooxygenase [N-oxide-forming] 3 and dimethylaniline monooxygenase [N-oxide-forming] 1. In addition, tamoxifen N-oxide can be converted into tamoxifen; which is catalyzed by the enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4. Tamoxifen N-oxide is a metabolite of tamoxifen. In humans, tamoxifen N-oxide is involved in tamoxifen metabolism pathway. Tamoxifen is an antagonist of the estrogen receptor in breast tissue via its active metabolite, hydroxytamoxifen. Tamoxifen is the usual endocrine therapy for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in pre-menopausal women, and is also a standard in post-menopausal women although aromatase inhibitors are also frequently used in that setting. In other tissues such as the endometrium, it behaves as an agonist, and thus may be characterized as a mixed agonist/antagonist.
