Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Raloxifene osteoporosis drug molecule
Raloxifene osteoporosis drug, molecular model. This drug, marketed as Evista, is used to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Oestrogen, a female sex hormone, increases the activity of osteoblasts, the cells that manufacture bone. When oestrogen levels fall after the menopause, women are at higher risk of osteoporosis, or reduced bone mineral density. Raloxifene mimics the effect of oestrogen in bone, stimulating bone production. However, as it blocks oestrogen receptors in other tissues, it causes fewer side effects than oestrogen itself. In this model, atoms are represented by coloured spheres; carbon is green, hydrogen is white, oxygen is red, nitrogen is blue, and sulphur is yellow

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular structure of Raloxifene, a powerful osteoporosis drug also known as Evista. Designed to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women, this medication acts as a mimic for oestrogen, the female sex hormone responsible for stimulating bone production through osteoblast activity. As menopause leads to a decline in oestrogen levels, women become more susceptible to osteoporosis and reduced bone mineral density. Raloxifene steps in by replicating the effects of oestrogen on bones while simultaneously blocking its receptors in other tissues. This unique mechanism allows for fewer side effects compared to direct oestrogen supplementation. In this visually striking model, atoms are represented by vibrant colored spheres: green for carbon, white for hydrogen, red for oxygen, blue for nitrogen, and yellow for sulphur. The intricate arrangement highlights the complexity of this pharmaceutical compound and its biochemistry. Through computer artwork techniques combined with scientific precision, Science Photo Library presents an informative illustration that delves into the world of pharmacology and medical advancements. This image serves as a reminder of how innovative molecules like Raloxifene can provide preventative measures against debilitating conditions such as osteoporosis.
