Identification

Summary

Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator used to treat estrogen receptor positive breast cancer, reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer following surgery, or reduce the risk of breast cancer in high risk women.

Brand Names
Soltamox
Generic Name
Tamoxifen
DrugBank Accession Number
DB00675
Background

Tamoxifen is a non-steroidal antiestrogen used to treat estrogen receptor positive breast cancers as well as prevent the incidence of breast cancer in high risk populations.1,15,16 Tamoxifen is used alone or as an adjuvant in these treatments.15,16 Tamoxifen may no longer be the preferred treatment for these types of cancers as patients generally have better survival, side effect profiles, and compliance with anastrozole.2

Tamoxifen was granted FDA approval on 30 December 1977.15

Pharmacology

Indication

Tamoxifen is indicated to treat estrogen receptor positive metastatic breast cancer in adults, as an adjuvant in the treatment of early stage estrogen receptor positive breast cancer in adults, to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer after surgery and radiation in adult women with ductal carcinoma in situ.16

Pharmacodynamics

Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that inhibits growth and promotes apoptosis in estrogen receptor positive tumors.1,8 It has a long duration of action as the active metabolite N-desmethyltamoxifen has a half life of approximately 2 weeks.15,16 It has a narrow therapeutic index as higher doses can lead to breathing difficulty or convulsions.15,16 Tamoxifen administration is also associated with an increased incidence of uterine malignancies.15,16

Mechanism of action

Tamoxifen competitively inhibits estrogen binding to its receptor, which is critical for it's activity in breast cancer cells.1 Tamoxifen leads to a decrease in tumor growth factor α and insulin-like growth factor 1, and an increase in sex hormone binding globulin.1 The increase in sex hormon binding globulin limits the amount of freely available estradiol.1 These changes reduce levels of factors that stimulate tumor growth.1

Tamoxifen has also been shown to induce apoptosis in estrogen receptor positive cells.8 This action is thought to be the result of inhibition of protein kinase C, which prevents DNA synthesis.8 Alternate theories for the apoptotic effect of tamoxifen comes from the approximately 3 fold increase in intracellular and mitochondrial calcium ion levels after administration or the induction of tumor growth factor β.8

Absorption

An oral dose of 20mg reaches a Cmax of 40ng/mL with a Tmax of 5 hours.15,16 The metabolite N-desmethyltamoxifen reaches a Cmax of 15ng/mL.15,16 10mg of tamoxifen orally twice daily for 3 months results in a Css of 120ng/mL and a Css of 336ng/mL.15,16

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution of tamoxifen is approximately 50-60L/kg.11

Protein binding

The protein binding of tamoxifen in plasma is over 98% and mostly to serum albumin.11

Metabolism

Tamoxifen can by hydroxylated to α-hydroxytamoxifen which is then glucuronidated or undergoes sulfate conjugation by sulfotransferase 2A1.4,6 Tamoxifen can also undergo N-oxidation by flavin monooxygenases 1 and 3 to tamoxifen N-oxide.4,6,7 Tamoxifen is N-dealkylated to N-desmethyltamoxifen by CYP2D6, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP1B1, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A5.3,4,5,6,7 N-desmethyltamoxifen can be sulfate conjugated to form N-desmethyltamoxifen sulfate, 4-hydroxylated by CYP2D6 to form endoxifen, or N-dealkylated again by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 to N,N-didesmethyltamoxifen.4,5,13 N,N-didesmethyltamoxifen undergoes a substitution reaction to form tamoxifen metabolite Y, followed by ether cleavage to metabolite E, which can then be sulfate conjugated by sulfotransferase 1A1 and 1E1 or O-glucuronidated.13,14

Tamoxifen can also by 4-hydroxylated by CYP2D6, CYP2B6, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19 to form 4-hydroxytamoxifen.3,4,5,6 4-hydroxytamoxifen can undergo glucuronidation by UGT1A8, UGT1A10, UGT2B7, and UGT2B17 to tamoxifen glucuronides, sulfate conjugation by sulfotransferase 1A1 and 1E1 to 4-hydroxytamoxifen sulfate, or N-dealkylation by CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 to endoxifen.4,5

Endoxifen undergoes demethylation to norendoxifen, a reversible sulfate conjugation reaction via sulfotransferase 1A1 and 1E1 to 4-hydroxytamoxifen sulfate, sulfate conjugation via sulfotransferase 2A1 to 4-endoxifen sulfate, or glucuronidation via UGT1A8, UGT1A10, UGT2B7, or UGT2B15 to tamoxifen glucuronides.13,4,5

Route of elimination

Tamoxifen is mainly eliminated in the feces.15,16 Animal studies have shown 75% of radiolabelled tamoxifen recovered in the feces, with negligible collection from urine.9 However, 1 human study showed 26.7% recovery in the urine and 24.7% in the feces.10

Half-life

The terminal elimination half-life of tamoxifen is 5 to 7 days, while the half-life of N-desmethyltamoxifen, the primary circulating metabolite, is approximately 14 days.15,16

Clearance

The clearance of tamoxifen was 189mL/min in a study of six postmenopausal women.12

Toxicity

High doses of tamoxifen in animals lead to respiratory difficulty and convulsions.15,16 High doses in advanced metastatic cancer patients resulted in acute neurotoxicity seen by tremor, hyperreflexia, unsteady gait, and dizziness.15,16 Patients experiencing and overdose should be given supportive treatment as no specific treatment for overdose is suggested.15,16

Description
This compound 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.
