摘要

• FDA approved selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) prevent and treat breast cancer, osteoporosis and dyspareunia. • SERMs have varying agonist and antagonist activities at the level of the estrogen receptor (ER) in target tissues. • Targeted agonist effects of SERMs are hot flashes, lipids, bone, vagina, and brain. • Antagonist SERM effects are desired in breast and endometrium. • The first tissue selective estrogen complex (TSEC) pairs the SERM bazedoxifene with conjugated equine estrogens.
