Fulvestran is a newer type of estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist with IC50 value of 9.4 nM [1].
Fulvestrant treatment caused a significant decrease in MDM2 protein expression in human breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and T47D, and that the reduction of MDM2 correlated with the decrease in ER expression [1].
Fulvestrant enhances the sensitivity of human breast cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs. CompuSyn analyses showed that combined use of doxorubicin, paclitaxel or etoposide with fulvestrant resulted in different degrees of synergism in MCF7 and T47D cell lines tested. Besides, Combination of fulvestrant and chemotherapeutic drugs induces altered cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, and senescence [1].

Shipping Condition | Evaluation sample solution: ship with blue ice. All other available sizes: ship with RT, or blue ice upon request. |
General tips | For obtaining a higher solubility, please warm the tube at 37°C and shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months. |
Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines |
T47D and MCF7 breast cancer cell lines |
Preparation method |
The solubility of this compound in DMSO is >30.3 mg/mL. General tips for obtaining a higher concentration: Please warm the tube at 37°C for 10 minutes and/or shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while. Stock solution can be stored below -20°C for several months. |
Reacting condition |
1 μM, 10 μM, 66 h |
Applications |
Treatment of ER+ human breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and T47D cells with fulvestrant caused a significant decrease in MDM2 protein expression. Treatment with fulvestrant for 16 h or 66 h does not alter MDM2 mRNA level. Fulvestrant (1 μM, 16 h) facilitated degradation of MDM2 protein and shortened half-life of this protein (27 min vs. 42 min in T47D cells; 80 min vs. 180 min in MCF7 cells). Treatment with fulvestrant (5 μM, 72 h) increased the G1 population. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models |
Nude mice bearing MCF-7 and Br10 human breast cancers |
Dosage form |
s.c. injection; 5 mg; 4 weeks |
Application |
Fulvestrant substantially reduced tumor growth. |
Clinical Trials [3]: | |
Clinical Trials |
Postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer |
Dosage form |
Intramuscular injection; 250 mg as a once-monthly (one × 5 mL), |
Application |
Fulvestrant is an additional, effective, and well-tolerated treatment for advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women whose disease progressed on prior endocrine therapy. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
