Abstract

Non-steroidal antioestrogens are a group of pharmacological agents that inhibit oestradiolstimulated events both in vivo and in vitro (Sutherland & Jordan, 1981). There is considerable evidence to suggest that the antagonism of oestradiol action is competitive via the oestrogen receptor (Jordan, 1984); however, the precise molecular mechanism of action is unknown.
