Le tamoxifène est un produit non stéroïdien qui a montré une puissante action anti-œstrogénique chez des modèles animaux. Ses effets anti-œstrogéniques sont reliés à sa faculté d'entrer en compétition avec les œstrogènes pour se fixer sur les sites récepteurs de tissus-cibles tels que la glande mammaire et l'utérus.
