| Bioactivity | Enclomiphene ((E)-Clomiphene) citrate is a potent and orally active non-steroidal estrogen receptor antagonist, with antioestrogenic property. Enclomiphene citrate can be used for the research of ovarian dysfunction, testosterone deficiency, male hypogonadism and type 2 diabetes[1]. |
| Invitro | Enclomiphene citrate (0-100 μM, 6 h) dose-dependently inhibits basal and gonadotrophin-stimulated small and large ovine luteal cell progesterone secretion[2].Enclomiphene citrate (0-100 μg/mL, 24 h) dose-dependently inhibits fertilization rates, blastocyst formation rates, and degeneration rates in mouse oocytes[3].Enclomiphene citrate (1 nM-10 μM, 6 h) dose-dependently decreases E2-induced inhibition of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion in primary sheep pituitary cells[4]. |
| In Vivo | Enclomiphene citrate (subcutaneous injection, 0.25 and 0.5 mg/animal, daily) inhibits spermatogenesis and decreases serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone levels in intact or castrated rats[5].Enclomiphene citrate (oral adminstration, 0.03-3 mg/kg, daily for 90 days) reductes body weight to sham levels, and reduced serum cholesterol[6].
