生物活性

Formestane (Lentaron (R)) is a second generation selective aromatase inhibitor with an IC50 of 80 nM. Formestane (Lentaron (R)) is used in the treatment of estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Formestane (Lentaron (R)) is often used to suppress estrogen production from anabolic steroids or prohormones. Formestane (Lentaron (R)) also acts as a prohormone to 4-hydroxytestosterone, an active steroid which displays weak androgenic activity in addition to acting as a mild aromatase inhibitor. Formestane has poor oral bioavailability and as such is no longer popular as many orally active aromatase inhibitors have been identified. Cells were treated with different aromatase inhibitors anastrozole, formestane, exemestane, and letrozole, or antiestrogens tamoxifen and fulvestrant. UMB-1Ca cells showed significant growth inhibition in response to fulvestrant (100 nM, P < 0.0005) and partial growth inhibition in response to letrozole (100 nM, P < 0.005).

化学数据

不同实验动物依据体表面积的等效剂量转换表（数据来源于FDA指南）

例如，依据体表面积折算法，将化合物用于小鼠的剂量20 mg/kg 换算成大鼠的剂量，需要将20 mg/kg 乘以小鼠的K_m系数（3），再除以大鼠的K_m系数（6），得到化合物用于大鼠的等效剂量为10 mg/kg。
