Product Description:
1. Formestane (Lentaron) is a type I, steroidal aromatase inhibitor. It is used in the treatment of estrogen-
receptor positive breast cancer in post-menopausal women. It is available as an intramuscular depot
injection.Formestane has poor oral bioavailability and as such is no longer popular as many orally active
aromatase inhibitors have been identified.It is used in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast
cancer in postmenopausal women. The drug is not active orally, and is instead available only as and
intramuscular depot injection. Because of this, it is no longer popular as many orally active aromatase
inhibitors have been identified and introduced. Formestane is an analogue of androstenedione.
2. Formestane is often used to suppress the production of estrogens from anabolic steroids or
prohormones. It also acts as a prohormone to 4-hydroxytestosterone, an active steroid which displays
weak androgenic activity in addition to acting as a weak aromatase inhibitor.
3. Formestane is a androstenedione derivative, and it belongs to an aromatase inhibitor with
aminoglutethimide, it is a hormone antineoplastic agent. In physiological conditions, it may competitively
inhibit the synthesis of the enzyme leading to estrogen biosynthesis decrease in tissues, then it plays its
role in cancer. When the tumor tissue growth relies on the presence of estrogen, in order to inhibit tumor
growth, the elimination of tumor estrogen-mediated growth stimulation is necessary.
4. This product is more selective than aminoglutethimide while its activity is 100 to 1000 times of
aminoglutethimide, and it does not inhibit the synthesis of adrenal hormones,without having to recharge
cortisone, etc . The in vitro inhibition of aromatase enzyme of this product is 60 times stronger than
aminoglutethimide.

Application
1. Formestane also known as lentaron,is an anti-cancer drug, it is primarily used for the treatment of
postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer, it is also effective in prostate cancer;
2. While it is used alone, the drug can not significantly reduce the pre-menopausal estrogen levels in the
blood of women,when it is combined with goserelin (gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist), its
inhibitory effect of estrogen in premenopausal women is greater than goserelin used alone.
3. Formestane has no cross-resistance with other aromatase inhibitors , it has no side effects of
aminoglutethimide. After oral administration,it is rapidly absorbed by gastrointestinal, its peak plasma
concentration time is 1 to 1.5 hours, but the peak concentration of individual is of great difference; after
intramuscular injection,it can be accumulated at the injection site and be slowly absorbed.
4. It performs Biphasic elimination process, the initial elimination half-life is 2 to 4 days, the terminal
elimination half-life is 5 to 10 days. It is mainly metabolized in the liver after oral administration, in the form
of glycosides acid metabolites excreted in the urine.
