Estrogen receptor antagonist; anti-proliferative; non-steroidal antiestrogen; derivative of Tamoxifen
Nafoxidine is a potent estrogen receptor antagonist that exhibits anti-proliferative properties. It is a non-steroidal antiestrogen, a derivative of Tamoxifen.

In this study, we have determined the ability of the partial estrogen antagonists, clomiphene, tamoxifen, and nafoxidine, and the pure estrogen antagonists, ICI 164,384 and ICI 182,780, to inhibit angiogenesis in the chick egg chorioallantoic membrane. All of the partial
Tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, nafoxidine, 17 beta-oestradiol and ICI 164,384 were all found to protect rat liver nuclei against Fe(III)-ascorbate dependent lipid peroxidation. The order of effectiveness of these compounds was 4-hydroxytamoxifen > 17 beta-oestradiol > nafoxidine > tamoxifen > ICI 164,384.

An estrogen receptor (ER) was identified in cytosolic and nuclear fractions of the testis in a marine teleost, Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus). A single class of high affinity, low capacity, and displaceable binding sites was identified by saturation analysis, with
The pure antioestrogen ICI 164,384, and nafoxidine (structurally related to tamoxifen) were good inhibitors of iron ion-dependent lipid peroxidation. In rat liver microsomes incubated with Fe(III)-ascorbate the overall order of effectiveness of the compounds tested as inhibitors of lipid peroxidation

This report describes the identification of a negative regulator of estrogen and progesterone receptor function. Using a reconstituted estrogen-responsive transcription system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have identified a "repressor function," which when mutated, increases the transcriptional activity of the estrogen
