| Targets |
Vorozole targets aromatase (CYP19A1), the enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Vorozole is a potent and selective non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor with IC50 values of 1.9 nM (human placental) and 1.2 nM (rat ovarian). By inhibiting aromatase, Vorozole reduces estrogen biosynthesis, which is a key therapeutic strategy for hormone-dependent breast cancer.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In rat granulosa cells stimulated with FSH, vorozole inhibits aromatase activity with an IC50 of 1.4 nM [4].
In vitro, Vorozole is a potent aromatase inhibitor with IC50 values of 1.9 nM (human placental) and 1.2 nM (rat ovarian). The compound selectively inhibits aromatase activity in cell-free and cell-based systems. Detailed in vitro activity data, including effects on estrogen-dependent cell proliferation, have been characterized in various breast cancer cell lines. |
| ln Vivo |
In addition to having anti-tumor effects, vorozole (0.8–1.25 mg/kg; gavage; once daily for 77 days) raises serum testosterone levels and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 release [3]. In ovariectomized nude mice, vorozole (oral; 5 days) completely inhibits tumor aromatase and reduces uterine weight in a dose-dependent manner [4].
In vivo, Vorozole has been studied for its effects on estrogen-dependent tumor growth in animal models of breast cancer. The compound reduces estrogen levels and inhibits the growth of hormone-dependent tumors. Detailed in vivo data regarding dosage, administration routes, and specific efficacy endpoints are limited in the available literature. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Vorozole's aromatase inhibition activity has been characterized using human placental and rat ovarian microsomal preparations. Enzyme assays typically involve measuring the conversion of androstenedione to estrone using radiolabeled substrates. Vorozole has IC50 values of 1.9 nM (human placental) and 1.2 nM (rat ovarian). Binding affinity and inhibition kinetics are determined using standard enzyme kinetic assays.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell experiments with Vorozole typically use estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell lines such as MCF-7. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and cell proliferation, aromatase activity, and estrogen levels are assessed. The compound's effects on estrogen signaling and cell growth are evaluated.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Female SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rat [3]
Doses: 0.08, 0.16, 0.31, 0.63 or 1.25 mg/kg Route of Administration: gavage; daily (starting at 43 days of age) for 77 days; single dose after 7 days Results of intravenous (iv) (iv)injection of methylnitrosourea (MNU) (50 mg/kg body weight): resulted in a dose-dependent increase in weight gain, diminished cancer incidence, increased insulin-like growth factor (IGF) - 1. Serum testosterone levels. In vivo animal studies with Vorozole have been conducted using rodent models of hormone-dependent breast cancer. The compound is typically administered via oral gavage. Detailed protocols regarding dosage, treatment duration, and specific animal models are not extensively reported in the available literature. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data specific to Vorozole are limited in the available literature. As a small molecule, the compound is expected to have reasonable oral bioavailability and tissue penetration. Further pharmacokinetic studies are needed to fully characterize its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion properties.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Vorozole is considered safe for research use at typical concentrations. As a research compound, it is intended for laboratory use only and not for human consumption. The compound should be handled under standard laboratory safety practices with appropriate precautions.
