Purity: ≥98%
Fadrozole (CGS 16949A) is a highly potent and selective nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (IC50 of 6.4 nM) with potential antineoplastic activity. Aromatase, a member of the cytochrome P-450 superfamily, is found in many tissues; overexpression has been linked to the development of preneoplastic and neoplastic changes in breast tissue. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent. Fadrozole specifically inhibits aromatase, blocking the aromatization of androstenedione and testosterone into estrone and estradiol, respectively, the final step in estrogen biosynthesis; the reduction in estrogen levels may inhibit growth in estrogen-dependent cancers.

| ln Vitro |
The rat ovary and human placenta both exhibit strong aromatase inhibition when exposed to fadrozole hydrochloride. With an IC50 of 0.03 μM, fadrozole salty suppresses the synthesis of estrogen in hamster ovarian slices. The IC50 value for the inhibition of progesterone production is 120 μM. To varied degrees, the manufacture of additional cytochrome P-450-dependent hormones can be inhibited by high doses of fadrozole hydrochloride. [1].

| ln Vivo |
In immature female rats, fadrozole administered orally suppresses the uterine hypertrophy generated by androstenedione-mediated aromatase, with an ED50 of 0.03 mg/kg. Aminoglutethimide administered orally in the same mouse produced the same result, with an ED50 of 30 mg/kg [1]. In female Sprague-Dawley rats, fadrozole hydrochloride inhibits the growth of spontaneous mammary tumors, both malignant and benign. Additionally, it can lessen the frequency of spontaneous hepatic tumors in both male and female rats as well as slow down the spontaneous development of pituitary dtamas in female rats [2]. Fadrozole was given to male and female mice, and it reduced the parasite burden by 70% while inhibiting the generation of 17b-estradiol. In male mice, this defense was linked to the recovery of particular cellular immunological responses. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in the spleenocytes and serum levels rose by 80%, while the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the testes of male infected mice increased tenfold. Fadrozole therapy brings these levels back to initial levels [3].

| Enzyme Assay |
For in vitro tests, culture grade Fadrozole was dissolved in cRPMI to the desired stock concentration, and sterilised by passage through a 0.2-mm Millipore filter. Experimental design was as follows: using a 24-well culture plate, six wells were used as untreated controls, six wells were supplemented with the vehicle in which Fadrozole was diluted, six wells were treated with different concentrations of Fadrozole. Concentrations of Fadrozole were randomised across the plates. Fadrozole was prepared to a final volume of 100 μl and added to 2 ml of medium in each well. Control cysts were treated with the solvent in which Fadrozole was diluted such that a constant volume of solvent (100 μl) was added to each well. Reproduction was measured as the number of buds that each cyst produced in response to treatment and were counted directly under a light inverted microscope. Morbidity of cysts was recognised by progressive internal disorganisation, development of lucent areas in the cytoplasm, and progressive loss of motility. Dead cysts had an opaque appearance with lucent areas in the tegmental cytoplasm and characteristic swelling. Viability was based upon granularity, bodily contortions, and methylene blue uptake. Unstained cysts were considered dead when they lacked motility and/or were characteristically granular. All viability observations were determined microscopically, and cysts were considered dead based on complete loss of motility of the anterior and posterior regions, and internal loss of movement for food intake. These observations were done under an inverted microscope using 10× and 100× magnification.[3]

| Animal Protocol |
Fadrozole was administered in the form of sub-dermal long-term release pellets (20 mg/wt kg, in three-week-release pellets), starting 1 week prior to the infection, using a 10-gauge needle Trochar. Three pellets were administrated during the study. Placebo pellets were administered to another group of infected mice, in the same fashion as the inhibitor. After 1 week, mice were infected as described above and killed 8 weeks later.[3]
Rats are treated with daily dosing with fadrozole hydrochloride (CGS 16949A) in purified water by gavage for 2 years. There are 60 rats in each of four groups given 0, 0.05, 0.25 or 1.25 mg/kg daily. Control rats receive only water. Clinical signs are recorded weekly and the animals are examine for palpable masses every 4 weeks for the first 9 months, then every 2 weeks for the remainder of the study[2]. Mice: Fadrozole is administered in the form of sub-dermal long-term release pellets (20 mg/wt kg, in three-week-release pellets), starting 1 week prior to the infection, using a 10-gauge needle. Three pellets are administrated during the study. Placebo pellets are administered to another group of infected mice, in the same fashion as the inhibitor. After 1 week, mice are infected and killed 8 weeks later[3]. |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C.
