Pharmacological action of

Pharmacodynamics

Antitumor drug. A highly selective non-steroidal inhibitor of aromatase, an enzyme with which in postmenopausal women, androstenedione in peripheral tissues is converted to estrone and then to estradiol. Anastrozole does not have gestagenic, androgenic and estrogenic activity.

In postmenopausal women, anastrozole in a daily dose of 1 mg causes an 80% decrease in estradiol levels. Anastrozole in daily doses up to 10 mg has no effect on the secretion of cortisol and aldosterone.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption and distribution of

Anastrozole after oral administration on an empty stomach is quickly absorbed from the digestive tract. Cmax in plasma is reached within 2 hours. Food slightly reduces the absorption rate (but not its degree) and does not lead to a clinically significant effect on plasma Css of the drug with a single dose of anastrozole. After a 7-day administration of anastrozole Css in plasma, approximately 90-95%. Binding to blood plasma proteins - 40%.

Metabolism and excretion sr

In postmenopausal women, anastrozole in a daily dose of 1 mg causes an 80% decrease in estradiol levels. Anastrozole in daily doses up to 10 mg has no effect on the secretion of cortisol and aldosterone.

Metabolism and excretion

Anastrozole metabolism is carried out by N-dealkylation, hydroxylation and glucuronidation. Triazole, a major plasma metabolite, does not inhibit aromatase.

T1 / 2 from plasma is 40-50 hours. Less than 10% of the dose is excreted unchanged in the urine within 72 hours after taking the drug. Metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine.

Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases

The clearance of anastrozole after oral administration for cirrhosis of the liver or impaired renal function does not change.

Indications
