My favorite organic molecule is Tamoxifen which is an
antagonist of the estrogen receptor in breast tissue. This molecule was
discovered by a pharmaceutical company called AstraZeneca. Not only that this
drug is used for cancer treatment, it is also use to treat premature puberty,
bipolar disorder, infertility, and gynecomastia. It is my favorite molecule
because it is use for hormone therapy for hormone receptor-positive breast
cancer in premenopausal women for early and late breast cancer. Few years ago,
my mother was diagnosed of stage 3 breast cancer and this drug was used. Due to
the effectiveness of this drug with the combination of chemotherapy, radiation
and surgery, my mom defeated cancer.
