Abstract (original English)
R76713 is a novel triazole derivative which selectively blocks the cytochrome P450-dependent aromatase. In human placental microsomes, in FSH-stimulated rat and human granulosa cells and in human adipose stromal cells, 50% inhibition of estradiol biosynthesis was obtained at drug concentrations of 2-10 nM. In PMSG-injected female rats, R76713 lowered plasma estradiol levels by 50 and 90% 2 h after single oral doses of 0.005 and 0.05 mg/kg respectively. After 1 mg/kg, estradiol levels were suppressed by 90% for 16 h. In male cynomolgus monkeys, R76713 dose-dependently (0.03-10 micrograms/kg) inhibited peripheral aromatization with an ED50 of 0.13 microgram/kg without altering metabolic clearance rates and conversion ratios. In vitro R76713 had no effect on other P450-dependent steroidogenic enzymes up to 1000 nM at least. In rats, LHRH-, ACTH- and sodium-deprived diet stimulated plasma testosterone, corticosterone and aldosterone levels were not modified 2 h after single oral administrations of R76713 (up to 20 mg/kg). Furthermore, R76713 did not show any in vitro or in vivo estrogenic or antiestrogenic property. R76713 also induced regression of DMBA-induced mammary tumors after daily oral administration of 1 mg/kg b.i.d. In male volunteers (n = 4), a single oral dose of 5 and 10 mg lowered median plasma estradiol levels from 70 pM to the detection limit of the assay (40 pM) 4,
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • This is a narrative review: it collects no new patient data and does not systematically appraise evidence quality.
