What are Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)?
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) are a class of compounds that act on the estrogen receptor. A unique characteristic of SERMs is their ability to function as either estrogen receptor agonists or antagonists depending on the target tissue. This tissue-selective action makes them highly valuable in clinical applications for treating conditions like breast cancer, osteoporosis, and menopausal symptoms.
