More Info
EVISTA (raloxifene hydrochloride) is an estrogen agonist/antagonist, commonly referred to as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that belongs to the benzothiophene class of compounds.Raloxifene HCl is an off-white to pale-yellow solid that is very slightly soluble in water. EVISTA is supplied in a tablet dosage form for oral administration. Each EVISTA tablet contains 60 mg of raloxifene HCl, which is the molar equivalent of 55.71 mg of free base. Inactive ingredients include anhydrous lactose, carnauba wax, crospovidone, FD&C Blue No. 2 aluminum lake, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, modified pharmaceutical glaze, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, povidone, propylene glycol, and titanium dioxide.     Mechanism of Action Decreases in estrogen levels after oophorectomy or menopause lead to increases in bone resorption and accelerated bone loss. Bone is initially lost rapidly because the compensatory increase in bone formation is inadequate to offset resorptive losses. In addition to loss of estrogen, this imbalance between resorption and formation may be due to age-related impairment of osteoblasts or their precursors. In some women, these changes will eventually lead to decreased bone mass, osteoporosis, and increased risk for fractures, particularly of the spine, hip, and wrist. Vertebral fractures are the most common type of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women. The biological actions of raloxifene are largely mediated through binding to estrogen receptors. This binding results in activation of certain estrogenic pathways and blockade of others. Thus, raloxifene is an estrogen agonist/antagonist, commonly referred to as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Raloxifene decreases resorption of bone and reduces biochemical markers of bone turnover to the premenopausal range. These effects on bone are manifested as reductions in the serum and urine levels of bone turnover markers, decreases in bone resorption based on radiocalcium kinetics studies, increases in bone mineral density (BMD), and decreases in incidence of fractures.  
Product Data
Biological target:
Raloxifene HCl is a selective and orally active estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), which inhibits human cytosolic aldehyde oxidase-catalyzed phthalazine oxidation activity with IC50 of 5.7 nM.
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.
