Дезлорелин

Описание

Deslorelin is an injectable gonadotropin releasing hormone super-agonist also known as an LHRH agonist. It stops the production of sex hormones with potential antineoplastic activity. Deslorelin binds to and activates pituitary gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors. Continuous, prolonged administration of goserelin in males results in pituitary GnRH receptor desensitization and inhibition of pituitary secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), leading to a significant decline in testosterone production; in females, prolonged administration results in a decrease in estradiol production.

Химические свойства

White powder, tens of times more biologically active than natural LH-RH, is synthesized by solid-phase or liquid-phase synthesis method using the corresponding protected amino acid monomers as raw materials.

There is also interest in developing dosages and dosage forms as a long-term, reversible contraceptive in a variety of animal species, as a treatment for prostatic disease in male dogs, and incontinence in ovariectomized dogs. At the time of writing, deslorelin in not available in the USA, but is marketed in Canada.
