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:

    “The worst feature of this double consciousness is, that the two lives, of the understanding and of the soul, which we lead, really show very little relation to each other; never meet and measure each other: one prevails now, all buzz and din; and the other prevails then, all infinitude and paradise; and, with the progress of life, the two discover no greater disposition to reconcile themselves.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
