Description
Danazol is a derivative of testosterone and ethisterone that can bind to androgen receptors and sex hormone-binding globulin causing a 3-fold increase in free testosterone. It possesses weak androgenic effects and inhibits the production of gonadotropins. It has been used to address symptoms of endometriosis and to inhibit the growth of endocrine-responsive pancreatic and breast cancer cells but has also been linked to the development of ovarian cancer.
