TFM-4AS-1

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

TFM-4AS-1 is a synthetic estrogen that is used in scientific research. It is part of a group of compounds known as SERMs or selective estrogen receptor modulators. TFM-4AS-1 is known for its high affinity for the estrogen receptor and its selective action in different tissues.

History[edit | edit source]

TFM-4AS-1 was first synthesized in the late 20th century as part of a series of compounds designed to investigate the actions of estrogens in the body. It has since been used in a variety of research settings to study the effects of estrogens on different tissues.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

TFM-4AS-1 acts by binding to the estrogen receptor, a protein found in many different tissues in the body. Once bound, it can either activate or inhibit the receptor, depending on the specific tissue. This selective action is what gives TFM-4AS-1 its classification as a SERM.

Uses in Research[edit | edit source]

In research settings, TFM-4AS-1 is often used to study the effects of estrogens on different tissues. For example, it can be used to investigate the role of estrogens in bone health, cardiovascular health, and the development of certain cancers.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

As a research compound, TFM-4AS-1 is not typically used in humans, so its side effects are not well known. However, like all SERMs, it has the potential to cause side effects related to its estrogenic and anti-estrogenic actions.
