Letrozole is a novel and potent type (II) aromatase inhibitor with IC50 of 11.5 nM. It belongs to the reversible non-steroidal compound family which can inhibit Arom. However, there is no evidence that it can affect the adrenal steroidogenesis.[1]
Normally, Type II inhibitors have a common feature of heterocyclic azole moiety, which can be binded to the heme–iron in aromatase. It contains a structure of 1,2,4-triazole moieties which can coordinate the heme–iron of cytochrome P450. Meanwhile, benzonitrile substituted letrozole can mimic a unique enzyme structure of the substrate androstenedione.[2]
Letrozole administration can reduce spine synapse and axon outgrowth and it also will decrease the expression of estrogen receptor (ER). While, the synaptic proteins including GAP-43 can impaire the long-termpotentiation.[1] Letrozole is proved to promote FSH release from the hypothalamic pituitary axis by responding to decreased estrogen (E) feedback.[3]
