DPPE is a potent, selective ligand of the microsomal anti-estrogen binding site.
DPPE is a potent, selective ligand of the microsomal anti-estrogen binding site. DPPE is a tamoxifen derivataive that binds with high affinity to the anti-estrogen binding site, but unlike tamoxifen, does not bind to the estrogen receptor. DPPE sensitizes MDR tumor cells to chemotherapy and also inhibits histamine binding at the intracellular histamine site.

DPPE (tesmilifene) plus doxorubicin (DOX) demonstrated a significant improvement in survival versus DOX in a phase III clinical trial in advanced breast cancer. However, DPPE is associated with unusual toxicity in the form of hallucinations, nausea and vomiting which were

Resuscitation in pediatric emergency and some neurological interventions may result in ischemia reperfusion-induced cerebral injuries. Histamine is one of the well established mediators of cerebral swelling and H1- and H2-receptor antagonists could prevent the development of ischemic brain edema. In
Tesmilifene is a novel potentiator of chemotherapy which, when added to doxorubicin, achieved an unexpected and very large survival advantage over doxorubicin alone in a randomized trial in advanced breast cancer. This trial was unusual in that the early endpoints
