NCIt definition : The citrate salt form of clomiphene, a triphenylethylene nonsteroidal ovulatory stimulant
evaluated for antineoplastic activity against breast cancer. Clomiphene has both estrogenic
and anti-estrogenic activities that compete with estrogen for binding at estrogen
receptor sites in target tissues. This agent causes the release of the pituitary gonadotropins
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), leading to ovulation.
