AROMATASE INHIBITORS - TYPES AND ADVANTAGES [PDF]
The role of aromatase inhibitors in the management of breast cancer has been promising as it markedly suppresses the production of estrogen. The inhibitors are very effective in postmenopausal women and used as the first line therapy for hormone ...

Aromatase Inhibitors for Ovulation Induction [PDF]
Normogonadotropic anovulation, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is one of the main causes of infertility. Recent meta-analysis and randomized controlled trial suggest the use of aromatase inhibitors (ie, letrozole) as effective drug and first-line treatment to restore fertility in these patients.

Aromatase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Endometriosis
Current treatment of endometriosis is mainly based on surgery and ovarian suppressive agents. In the last 10 years, it has been demonstrated that aromatase P450, a key enzyme for estrogen biosynthesis, may have a pathogenic role in endometriosis because ...

Facile Synthesis of Chrysin-derivatives with Promising Activities as Aromatase Inhibitors
Flavones such as chrysin show structural similarities to androgens, the substrates of human aromatase, which converts androgens to estrogens. Aromatase is a key target in the treatment of hormone-dependent tumors, including breast cancer.

Study of Aromatase-Catalyzed Metabolic Switching of 2,2-Dimethylandrostenedione : Synthesis of Possible Metabolites and Their Inhibitory Activities of Aromatase [PDF]
Aromatase is a cytochrome P-450 enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrogens. 2,2-Dimethylandrostenedione (5) is one of the powerful inhibitors of the enzyme.

A non-synonymous coding change in the CYP19A1 gene Arg264Cys (rs700519) does not affect circulating estradiol, bone structure or fracture [PDF]
Background The biosynthesis of estrogens from androgens is catalyzed by aromatase P450 enzyme, coded by the CYP19A1 gene on chromosome 15q21.2. Genetic variation within the CYP19A1 gene sequence has been shown to alter the function of the enzyme.
