Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC50/Ki
Estrogen receptor
In vitro
Toremifene (7.5 mM) causes approximately 60% of the cells to exhibit morphologic characteristics typical of cells undergoing programmed death, or apoptosis in human breast cancer cells. Toremifene (5-10 mM) results in elevated levels of TRPM-2 and TGF beta 1 mRNAs in in vitro or in vivo grown tumor cells. Toremifene causes growth inhibition of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells by inducing some cells to undergo apoptosis and by inhibiting other cells from entering mitosis. Toremifene induces a dose-dependent level of adducts that is lower than that observed for TAM. Toremifene significantly enhances endogenous DNA adduct formation. Toremifene affects the cell turnover by inhibiting mitotic activity and modifying abundant spontaneous apoptosis in DMBA-induced rat mammary carcinoma.
In vivo
Toremifene, at the highest tested dose, increases the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas in the DEN-initiated groups to a level one-third that observed with Tamoxifen administration to DEN-initiated rats. Toremifene increases the incidence of hypernephromas in previously DEN-initiated rats. Toremifene results in aneuploidy in 50% of the cells examined and compared with the 85% level induced by Tamoxifen in female Sprague-Dawley rats.
