説明Formestane is a potent aromatase inhibitor launched in the UK as a second-line endocrine treatment for breast cancer. As a synthetic derivative of androstanedione, the natural substrate for the biosynthesis of estrogen by the enzyme aromatase, formastane selectively inhibits aromatase and binds to its steroid receptor site to cause a rapid and sustained fall in circulating estrogen level and, therefore, inhibits tumor growth. In patients with existing bulky primary tumors, formestane effectively reduces the size of the tumors. Formastane has apparent tolerability advantages and less side effects than other agents such as aminoglutethimide.

定義ChEBI: A 17-oxo steroid that is androst-4-ene-3,17-dione in which the hydrogen at position 4 is replaced by a hydroxy group. Formestane was the first selective, type I steroidal aromatase inhibitor, suppressing oestrogen production from anabolic steroids or proho mones. It was formerly used in the treatment of oestrogen-receptor positive breast cancer in post-meopausal women. As it has poor oral bioavailability, it had to be administered by (fortnightly) intramuscular injection. It fell out of use with the subseque t development of cheaper, orally active aromatase inhibitors. Formestane is listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency as a substance prohibited from use by athletes.
