説明Goserelin acetate, like leuprolide acetate, is a synthetic superagonist nonapeptide analogue of GnRH that possesses greater potency than the natural hormone. Note that it contains D-Ser(But) and NH-NHCONH2 in place of Gly6 and Gly10-NH2, respectively. That is, the C terminal modification simply has an NH substituting for the CH2 of Gly, and like the C-terminal change in leuprolide acetate, this inhibits enzymatic degradation of the peptide by the postproline carboxyamide peptidase. Goserelin acetate is available in the form of a small, solid pellet that is administered as an SC implant for the palliative treatment of advanced, metastatic breast cancer in pre- and perimenopausal women or, similarly, as a palliative in advanced prostatic cancer. The rationale for this drug's use is, as described above, its ability as a superagonist to bring the levels of estradiol or testosterone to near castrate levels, thus slowing the progression of breast or prostate carcinoma, respectively. Additionally, goserelin acetate is approved for use in treating endometriosis for up to 6 months.

使用Synthetic peptide agonist analog of LH-RH. Antineoplastic (hormonal).

一般的な説明Goserelin acetate is a synthetic decapaptide, which is a potent analog of LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone).
