Gn RH Agonists - Agonists With Double and Single Substitutions

Agonists With Double and Single Substitutions

GnRH agonists are synthetically modeled after the natural GnRH decapeptide with specific amino acid substitutions typically in position 6 and 10. These substitutions inhibit rapid degradation. Agonists with 2 substitutions include:

  1. leuprolide (Lupron, Eligard)
  2. buserelin (Suprefact, Suprecor)
  3. nafarelin (Synarel) (only a single substitution at position 6)
  4. histrelin (Supprelin LA, Vantas)
  5. goserelin (Zoladex)
  6. deslorelin (Suprelorin, Ovuplant)

Triptorelin is an agonist with only a single substitution at position 6.

  • Leuprolide

  • Buserelin

  • Nafarelin

  • Histrelin

  • Goserelin

  • Deslorelin

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or single:

    “He does me double wrong
    That wounds me with the flatteries of his tongue.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act. Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
