Product Data
Biological target:
Raloxifene is a benzothiophene-derived selective estrogen receptor modulator. Raloxifene has estrogen-agonistic effects on bone and lipids and estrogen-antagonistic effects on the breast and uterus.
In vitro activity:
The combined treatment of raloxifene and gefitinib decreased the ability of neovascularization as assessed by tube formation of endothelial cells. These results suggested the potential of the combination of raloxifene and gefitinib for the prevention of triple-negative breast cancer growth and the appearance of metastatic events. Reference: Med Oncol. 2022 Dec 9;40(1):45. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36494506/
In vivo activity:
This study showed that raloxifene decreased depression, fearfulness, and anxiety after focal cranial blast traumatic brain injury in mice, using standard assays of these behavioral end-points. These results indicate that raloxifene could be used to treat deficits after mild traumatic brain injury. Reference: Neurotrauma Rep. 2022 Nov 24;3(1):534-544. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36479361/
