Tamoxifen citrate Specification

1. Introduction of Tamoxifen citrate

Tamoxifen citrate, with the IUPAC Name of 2-[4-[(Z)-1,2-Diphenylbut-1-enyl]phenoxy]-N,N-dimethylethanamine ; 2-Hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid, is one kind of white to off-white powder. This chemical belongs to the Product Categories which include Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients; Antitumors for Research and Experimental Use; Biochemistry; API's; Intracellular receptor.

Its classification code are Anti-estrogen; Drug / Therapeutic Agent; Human Data; Mutation data; Reproductive Effect and Tumor data. Tamoxifen citrate (CAS NO.54965-24-1) could be stable under normal temperatures and pressures. It should avoid the condition like incompatible materials, light, heat. It is not compatible with strong oxidizing agents. And also prevent it to broken down into hazardous decomposition products: Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. However, its hazardous polymerization will not occur.
