描述 | Aromatase has a key role in development and reproduction, it converts androgens to estrogens. In humans, aromatase is expressed in the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicle, the syncytiotrophoblasts of the placenta during pregnancy, and in the Leydig cells of testes[6]. Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor with IC50 value of 0.89 nM in JEG-3 cells. In various human glioma cell lines, including LN229, T98G, U373MG, U251MG, U87MG, letrozole inhibited aromatase with IC50 values ranging in 1.12 - 1.89 μM and cell proliferation with IC50 values ranging in 0.91 - 4.39 μM. In vivo, treatment with letrozole on the dose of 4 mg/kg once a day for 8 days exhibited a marked reduction of active tumor volume in Sprague-Dawley rats orthotopically implanted with C6 gliomas[7]. In addition, administration of 10 μg/kg letrozole for 35 days reduced tumor growth in the intratumoral aromatase mouse model[8]. Letrozole entered clinical trials on the basis of its high potency and selectivity for aromatase, the demonstration of unsurpassed anti-tumor effects in models of human breast cancer. Daily doses of 0.1 – 5 mg letrozole have been shown to suppress estradiol, estrone, and estrone sulfate plasma concentrations by 75 – 95% from baseline[9]. | ||
作用机制 | Letrozole inhibits the enzyme activity of intracellular aromatase and effectively blocking estrogen synthesis[9]. |
