Application


  • Targeted Radiation Drug for Breast Cancer: Fulvestrant was utilized in fluorocarbon nanoparticles combined with iodine-131, demonstrating potential as a targeted radiation drug for endocrine therapy in breast cancer treatment, enhancing the applicability of Fulvestrant in advanced therapeutic approaches (Zhi et al., 2024).

  • Pharmacological Insights: A comprehensive review discussed novel oral selective estrogen receptor degraders, including Fulvestrant, detailing their mechanism and efficacy in breast cancer treatment, providing crucial insights for ongoing pharmaceutical research and development (Guglielmi et al., 2024).

  • Quantification in Clinical Practice: Development of an LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of four hormone therapy drugs, including Fulvestrant, in breast cancer patients supports its clinical application and monitoring, ensuring effective patient management and therapy optimization (Mansour et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fulvestrant (ICI 182,780) is a selective estrogen receptor down-regulator (SERD). Fulvestrant is a high affinity estrogen receptor antagonist. IC50 = 0.29 nM. Fulvestrant is the first "pure" antiestrogen with no agonistic activity both in vitro and in vivo.
