Enclomiphene Citrate CAS 7599-79-3
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) & trans-Clomiphene Isomer
Enclomiphene citrate (CAS 7599-79-3) is the trans-isomer of clomiphene and a non-steroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It blocks hypothalamic estrogen negative feedback, raising GnRH, LH and FSH to stimulate endogenous testosterone. Molecular formula C32H36ClNO8, MW 598.09. Research-grade with COA.

Key Molecular Targets & Pathway Nodes
Enclomiphene acts centrally: as a SERM it antagonizes estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, relieving the negative feedback that normally restrains the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis.
How Enclomiphene Works: Blocking Hypothalamic ER to Free the HPG Axis
Enclomiphene antagonizes estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus, removing negative feedback so GnRH, LH and FSH — and endogenous testosterone — rise
Estrogen-Receptor Antagonism in the Hypothalamus
Enclomiphene is a non-steroidal SERM. In the hypothalamus it competitively blocks estrogen receptors, preventing endogenous estradiol from exerting its normal negative feedback on GnRH release.
HPG-Axis Activation (GnRH → LH/FSH)
With feedback lifted, the hypothalamus releases more GnRH in pulses, stimulating the anterior pituitary to secrete more LH and FSH. This is the same axis modulation exploited clinically for ovulation induction.
Endogenous Testosterone & Spermatogenesis
LH drives Leydig-cell testosterone production; FSH supports Sertoli-cell function and spermatogenesis. Because the stimulus is endogenous (unlike exogenous testosterone, which suppresses the axis), enclomiphene can raise serum testosterone while preserving fertility — the basis of male-hypogonadism research.
⚖️ Enclomiphene vs Clomiphene vs Testosterone
- Enclomiphene (this product)trans-isomer SERM; preserves HPG axis & fertility
- Racemic Clomiphenetrans + cis (zuclomiphene); more estrogenic side effects
- Exogenous Testosterone (TRT)Suppresses LH/FSH & spermatogenesis
- Shared MechanismEstrogen-receptor modulation of HPG feedback
- Key DistinctionEnclomiphene is the more potent trans isomer
- OutcomeRaises endogenous testosterone, fertility-sparing
♻️ Downstream Biological Consequences
- ReceptorHypothalamic ER antagonism
- AxisPulsatile GnRH ↑
- PituitaryLH & FSH ↑
- GonadLeydig testosterone ↑; Sertoli support
- SteroidogenesisEndogenous androgen production
- FertilitySpermatogenesis preserved (vs TRT)
Research Applications & Models
From ovulation induction to a fertility-sparing testosterone strategy, enclomiphene is a central endocrine probe.
Male Hypogonadism Models
The flagship research use: enclomiphene stimulates endogenous testosterone via the HPG axis while preserving spermatogenesis — a contrast to testosterone-replacement therapy (TRT).
HPG / TestosteroneHypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis
A clean tool to study estrogen negative feedback, GnRH pulsatility and gonadotropin regulation.
HPG AxisEstrogen-Receptor (SERM) Research
Used to dissect tissue-selective ER modulation distinct from tamoxifen or raloxifene.
ER / SERMFertility & Spermatogenesis
Investigated for gonadotropin-driven spermatogenesis in secondary hypogonadism models.
FertilityEndocrine Comparison Studies
Benchmarked against clomiphene and TRT to separate axis stimulation from exogenous suppression.
