Abstract

Highlights: [•] Tamoxifen produces cytotoxicity via estrogen-receptor (ER) independent mechanisms. [•] Tamoxifen binds to CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors and acts as an inverse agonist. [•] CB1 and CB2 receptors are novel molecular targets for Tamoxifen. [•] ER-independent effects for Tamoxifen may be mediated via CB1 and/or CB2 receptors. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
