Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonists.
BACKGROUND Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) plays a central role in the vertebrate reproduction by regulating gonadal activity. Based on its binding to pituitary LH-RH receptors, as well as to LH-RH receptors expressed on cancer cells, LH-RH agonists and antagonists have been developed for different therapeutic applications. OBJECTIVE/METHOD Here we give an overview of the most r...
متن کاملChanges in prolactin levels caused by luteinizing hormone releasing hormone.
The acute effects of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) on the release of prolactin (PRL) were investigated in 12 normal cycling women and 42 women with various menstrual disorders. LHRH (100 micrograms) was bolusly injected intramuscularly and PRL levels were measured immediately before the injection and at 30 minutes and 60 minutes after the injection. LHRH elicited an increase of m...
متن کاملDisposition and metabolism of cetrorelix, a potent luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonist, in rats and dogs.
Disposition and metabolism of cetrorelix was studied in intact and bile duct-cannulated rats and dogs after s.c. injection. An s.c. dose of 0.1 mg/kg [(14)C]cetrorelix was rapidly and completely absorbed in rats. T(max) in plasma and most tissues was at 2 h. Radioactivity at the injection site in rats declined to 10% by 24 h. The extent of (14)C absorption in rats calculated from excretion unti...
متن کاملSuppression of meiosis of male germ cells by an antagonist of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone.
Male nude mice were implanted with osmotic minipumps releasing 50 micrograms of a potent antagonist of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) per day [N-Ac-[D-Nal(2)1,D-Phe(pCl)2,D-Pal(3)3,D-Cit6,D-Ala10]LH-RH] (SB-75) [Nal(2), 3-(2-naphthyl)alanine; Phe(pCl), 4-chlorophenylalanine; Pal(3), 3-(3-pyridyl)alanine; Cit, citrulline], or they were treated with s.c. injections of SB-75 (25 mic...
متن کاملHuman malignant melanomas express receptors for luteinizing hormone releasing hormone allowing targeted therapy with cytotoxic luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue.
Cytotoxic analogue of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), AN-207, binds with high affinity to LHRH receptors and can be targeted to tumors expressing these receptors. We investigated the expression of LHRH receptors in surgical specimens of human malignant melanoma and evaluated the effects of AN-207 in models of human melanoma. Human melanoma specimens derived from primary tumors or ...
