How Elacestrant works
RAD1901 is a novel selective estrogen receptor modulator(SERM). SERMs are small molecules that bind to and selectively modulate estrogen receptors. These molecules have the ability to stimulate or block estrogen's activity in different types of tissue, functioning as estrogen receptor agonists in some tissues and as estrogen receptor antagonists in others. RAD1901 has potential to reduce vasomotor symptoms, along with a simultaneous bone-protective effect, without stimulating breast or uterine tissues. RAD1901 is distinctive from other SERMs in its unique biological profile, combined with its significant ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, which enables RAD1901 to function as an estrogen agonist within the central nervous system and thereby relieve hot flashes.
