<unk> , also known as 4-hydroxy-N,N-didesmethyltamoxifen, is a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (AI) of the triphenylethylene group that was never marketed. It is an active metabolite of the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) tamoxifen. Unlike tamoxifen,<unk>  is not a SERM, and instead has been found to act as a potent and selective competitive inhibitor of aromatase (Ki = 35 nM). Drugs with dual SERM and AI activity, such as 4'-hydroxynorendoxifen, have been developed from<unk> , and may have therapeutic potential as antiestrogens in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
