Anastrozole/PI_FBM_10032016 Page 2 of 16 PHARMACOLOGY PHARMACODYNAMIC PROPERTIES Anastrozole is a potent and highly selective nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor. It significantly lowers serum oestradiol concentrations and has no detectable effect on formation of adrenal corticosteroids or aldosterone. Many breast cancers have oestrogen receptors and growth of these tumours can be stimulated by oestrogen. In postmenopausal women, oestradiol is produced primarily from the conversion of androstenedione to oestrone through the aromatase enzyme complex in peripheral tissues. Oestrone is subsequently converted to oestradiol. Many breast cancers also contain aromatase; the importance of tumour generated oestrogens is uncertain. Reducing circulating oestradiol levels has been shown to produce a beneficial effect in women with breast cancer. In postmenopausal women, anastrozole at a daily dose of 1 mg produced oestradiol suppression of greater than 80% using a highly sensitive assay. Anastrozole does not possess any progestogenic, androgenic or oestrogenic activity. Daily doses of anastrozole up to 10 mg do not have any effect on cortisol or aldosterone secretion, measured before or after standard adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) challen Прочитајте комплетан документ
