Anastrozole is a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor that effectively blocks estrogen synthesis in postmenopausal animal test subjects. 

According to the data obtained through clinical studies on rats, anastrozole treated Breast Cancer cells by shrinking them, making it a potential antineoplastic agent. It may also inhibit androstenedione-induced uterine hypertrophy in sexually immature rats.

It is sold in liquid form in 1mg per ml vials for research and analytical purposes.

WHAT IS ANASTROZOLE?

Anastrozole is an anti-aromatase hormone that works by blocking estrogen synthesis. 

It is a member of the nitrile and triazole families. 

Anastrozole is a research liquid used for hormone therapy studies in rats. It shows great potential in managing Breast cancer.

STRUCTURE OF ANASTROZOLE

Molecular Formula: C₁₇H₁₉N₅

Molecular weight: 293.4g/mol

CAS number: 120511-73-1

IUPAC name: 2-[3-(2-cyanopropan-2-yl)-5-(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)phenyl]-2-methylpropanenitrile

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Anastrozole is a nonsteroidal third-generation aromatase inhibitor. It selectively binds to and reversibly inhibits aromatase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme complex that interferes with estradiol production in peripheral tissues, including those of the premenopausal ovary, liver, breast, and other fatty tissues.

Because estrogen acts as a growth factor for hormone-dependent breast cancer cells, anastrozole may treat animal test models with breast cancer caused by estrogen. 

Anastrozole has a relatively long duration of action, allowing for once-daily dosing. Its elimination half-life is approximately 50 hours.

ANASTROZOLE EFFECTS

Anastrozole benefits in animal test subjects include:

• Beneficial as an adjunct therapy for hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer in postmenopausal test subjects.
• The first-line treatment for hormone receptor-positive (or hormone receptor-unknown) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
• Treating peripheral precocious puberty
• Balancing testosterone levels in infertile male animals

ANASTROZOLE SIDE EFFECTS

The side effects of anastrozole seen in animal test subjects include:

• Decrease spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD)
• Hot flashes
• Altered moods like depression
• Arthritis and arthralgia
• Hypertension
• Nausea and vomiting
• Rash
• Insomnia
• Headache
• Peripheral edema
• Upper respiratory symptoms like coughing, dyspnea, and pharyngitis
