1)impeded estrogens
2)triphenyletyhylene antiestrogens
3)pure antiestrogens
4)SERMs

estrogen-dependent breast cancer
Impeded estrogen ex
estriol
Triphenylethylene antiestrogens ex
tamoxifen
Pure antiestrogens characterisits
NO estrogenic properties, just pure antagonists
SERMs def and ex
Activate the estrogen receptor and also have tissue-specific estrogen agonist or antagonist activity

Raloxifene (evista)
2 types of Aromatase inhibitors and their fxn
1)steroidal
2)nonsteroidal

block conversion of androgens to estrogens, treat estrogen-dependent breast cancer
