The estrogenic and antiestrogenic properties of tamoxifen and its monohydroxylated (monohydroxytamoxifen) and dihydroxylated (dihydroxytamoxifen) metabolites were investigated in the immature rat. Whether administered orally or s.c., monohydroxytamoxifen was more active than tamoxifen as an antiestrogen. Dihydroxytamoxifen was less active than tamoxifen as an antiestrogen, but this derivative alone was unable to induce a uterotrophic response. Both metabolites of tamoxifen were potent inhibitors of the binding of [3H]estradiol to estrogen receptors in vitro. It is possible that the metabolites play a supportive role in the antiestrogenic activity of tamoxifen. The potent activity of monohydroxytamoxifen in vivo and in vitro suggests that this compound could be an important new tool for the subcellular investigation of estrogenic and antiestrogenic events.
