`tamoxifen citrate
`
`DESCRIPTION
`NOLVADEX® (tamoxifen citrate) Tablets, a nonsteroidal
`antiestrogen, are for oral administration. NOLVADEX Tab—
`lets are available as:
`10 mg Tablets. Each tablet contains 15.2 mg of tamoxifen
`citrate which is equivalent to 10 mg of tamoxifen.
`20 mg Tablets. Each tablet contains 30.4 mg of tamoxifen
`citrate which is equivalent to 20 mg of tamoxifen.
`Inactive Ingredients: carboxymethylcellulose calcium, mag-
`nesium stearate, mannitol and starch.
`Chemically, NOLVADEX is the transisomer of a triphenyl.
`ethylene derivative. The chemical name is (Z)2-l4—(1,2-di~
`phenyl-lsbutenyl) phenoxylll, N-dimethylethanamine
`2~hydroxy~1,2,3—propanetricarboxylate (1:1). The structural
`and empirical formulas are:

`Tamoxifen citrate has a molecular weight of 563.62, the
`pKa’ is 8.85, the equilibrium solubility in Water at 37°C is
`0.5 mg/mL and in 0.02 N HCl at 37°C, it is 0.2 mg/mL.
`CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
`NOLVADEX is a nonsteroidal agent which has demon-
`strated potent antiestrogenic properties in animal test sys-
`tems. The antiestrogenic efl'ects may be related to its ability
`to compete with estrogen for binding sites in target tissues
`such as breast. Tamoxifen inhibits the induction of rat
`mammary carcinoma induced by dimethylbenzanthracene
`(DMBA) and causes the regression of already established
`DMBA-induced tumors. In this rat model, tamoxifen ap
`pears to exert its antitumor elfects by binding the estrogen
`receptors.
`In cytosols derived from human breast adenocarcinomas,
`tamoxifen competes with estradiol for estrogen receptor pro-
`tein.
