aromatase (rat)

Minamestane is a novel irreversible aromatase inhibitor.Minamestane induces time-dependent inhibition of human placental aromatase with a half-life of 4 minutes and a K of 59 nM.Minamestane has antitumor activity.

Exemestane (EXE) is an Aromatase Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of exemestane is as an Aromatase Inhibitor.

LY 43578 is an orally active aromatase inhibitor. LY43578 could inhibit O-demethylation of P-450-dependent p-nitroanisole and N-demethylation of ethylmorphine (IC50 of 0.3 and 5 μm, respectively) in rat liver microsomes. LY 43578 can be used to study neurological and cardiovascular diseases.

YM 511 is a highly specific non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. YM 511 inhibits aromatase activities in microsomes from rat ovary and human placenta competitively (IC50s of 0.4 and 0.12 nM, respectively). YM 511 slightly inhibits production of other steroid hormones. YM 511 has the potential for suppressing estrogen-dependent action research without affecting serum levels of other steroid hormones.

CGP 45688 is an oral active non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor with anti-tumor and endocrine effects on rat breast tumors.

Fadrozole hydrochloride (CGS 16949A) is a model aromatase inhibitor that effectively suppresses estrogen production in fish ovaries.
