Substance Name: Anastrozole [USAN:USP:INN:BAN]
RN: 120511-73-1
UNII: 2Z07MYW1AZ
InChIKey: YBBLVLTVTVSKRW-UHFFFAOYSA-N
Notes
- Aromatase inhibitor.
- Aromatase inhibitor.
NCI: A nonsteroidal inhibitor of estrogen synthesis that resembles paclitaxel in chemical structure. As a third-generation aromatase inhibitor, anastrozole selectively binds to and reversibly inhibits aromatase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme complex found in many tissues including those of the premenopausal ovary, liver, and breast; aromatase catalyzes the aromatization of androstenedione and testosterone into estrone and estradiol, the final step in estrogen biosynthesis. In estrogen-dependent breast cancers, anastrozole may inhibit tumor growth. (NCI Thesaurus)
