Endoxifen, also known as N-desmethyl-4-hydroxytamoxifen, is an orally active, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that was developed for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.[1][2][3] Endoxifen is an active metabolite of tamoxifen and is shown to be effective in patients that have failed previous hormonal therapies (aromatase inhibitors, fulvestrant, and tamoxifen).[1][4][5][6] The prodrug tamoxifen is metabolized by the CYP2D6 enzyme to produce endoxifen.[7]

Endoxifen is also being evaluated as an antipsychotic for treatment of mania and other psychotic disorders.[8][9]
