Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Agonist - 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. In India,Dr. Reddy's Laboratories has launched recently Triptorelin under the brand name "Pamorelin LA".

  • Leuprolide

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or single:

    “American families, however, without exception, experience a double message in our society, one that claims a commitment to families and stresses the importance of raising bright, stable, productive citizens, yet remains so bound by an ideal of “rugged individualism” that parents receive little support in their task from the public or private sectors.”
    —Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

    “Are God and Nature then at strife,
    That Nature lends such evil dreams?
    So careful of the type she seems,
    So careless of the single life;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
