N-Desmethyltamoxifen is the major metabolite of tamoxifen in humans. N-Desmethyltamoxifen, a poor antiestrogen, is a ten-fold more potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor than Tamoxifen. N-Desmethyltamoxifen is also a potent regulator of ceramide metabolism in human AML cells, limiting ceramide glycosylation, hydrolysis, and sphingosine phosphorylation.

At equivalent molar concentrations, both the salt and free forms of a compound exhibit comparable biological activity. Nevertheless, the salt form (N-Desmethyltamoxifen hydrochloride) usually boasts enhanced water solubility and stability.

Description

N-Desmethyltamoxifen is the major metabolite of tamoxifen in humans. N-Desmethyltamoxifen, a poor antiestrogen, is a ten-fold more potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor than Tamoxifen. N-Desmethyltamoxifen is also a potent regulator of ceramide metabolism in human AML cells, limiting ceramide glycosylation, hydrolysis, and sphingosine phosphorylation[1][2][3].

In Vitro

N-desmethyltamoxifen (20-500 ng/ml; 48 hours) has a profound inhibitory effect upon all seven glioma lines (T98G, U87, U138, U373, ALW, AUK, CAS cells)[1].
N-desmethyltamoxifen (1.5-10 μM; 114 hours) inhibits growth of MCF 7 human mammary carcinoma cells[2].
N-desmethyltamoxifen, resulting from the CYP3A4/5-mediated catalysis of tamoxifen, is the major primary quantitative metabolite of tamoxifen[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
