Aromatase inhibitors induce 'male pattern hair loss' in women?
Female androgenetic alopecia (FAGA) is a common and distressing cause of hair loss, caused by androgens in genetically susceptible women [1, 2], in which dihydrotestosterone (DHT) binds to androgen receptors leading to miniaturization of scalp hair follicles [3]. FAGA, characterized by a specific diffuse loss of hair of the parietal or frontovertical regions ('in the crown'), where 5α-reductase...
متن کاملAromatase inhibitors in breast cancer.
The development of aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer therapy is a result of successful translational research exploring the biochemical effects of different compounds in vivo. Studies assessing plasma oestrogen levels as well as in vivo aromatase inhibition have revealed a consistent difference with respect to biochemical efficacy between the third generation compounds (anastrozole, letroz...
متن کاملAromatase inhibitors versus antioestrogens
Endocrine therapies act by either blocking or downregulating the oestrogen receptor or by reducing oestrogen concentrations around and within the cancer cell. In postmenopausal women, oestrogen suppression is achieved by inhibition of the enzyme aromatase by aromatase inhibitors (AIs). Modern AIs (anastrozole, letrozole and exemestane) are more potent than earlier ones and suppress oestradiol l...

متن کاملMolecular Docking of Aromatase Inhibitors
Aromatase is an enzyme that plays a critical role in the development of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. As aromatase catalyzes the aromatization of androstenedione to estrone, a naturally occurring estrogen, it is a promising drug target for therapeutic management. The undesirable effects found in aromatase inhibitors (AIs) that are in clinical use necessitate the discovery of novel A...
