    Abstract

    There is a continued need for orally bioavailable anticancer compounds that exhibit good efficacy against breast cancer. STX140, a derivative of 2-methoxyestradiol (2-MeOE2), has been shown to have excellent oral bioavailability and significantly reduces tumor growth. A new micronized formulation of STX140 has now been developed and its pharmacokinetics (PK) in rats and effect on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer growth in nude mice was investigated.
