NCIt definition : A nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor fadrozole with potential antineoplastic activity.
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. 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.;
