Clomifene is a medicinal drug, which has similar properties as the female hormone estrogen. This component is used to induce egg production in women who are not able to ovulate. This component is a triphenylethylene nonsteroidal ovulatory stimulant evaluated for antineoplastic activity against breast cancer. It has both estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activities that compete with estrogen so as to bind at estrogen receptor sites in target tissues. This results in the release of the pituitary gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone that leads to ovulation.
