Description

Abarelix (CAS 183552-38-7) is a synthetic decapeptide and a potent gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. It functions by binding to and blocking the GnRH receptor in the anterior pituitary gland, inhibiting the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This suppression leads to a decrease in testosterone production, which is crucial for the growth of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer cells. Abarelix is utilized in research to study its effects on hormone regulation and prostate cancer treatment mechanisms. Synthesized under GMP conditions with a purity of ?99.90%, it ensures high-quality material for pharmaceutical and biochemical research.

Mechanism of Action & Research Applications

Abarelix functions as a potent GnRH antagonist by binding to and blocking the GnRH receptor in the anterior pituitary gland. This action inhibits the secretion of LH and FSH, leading to a decrease in testosterone production. In prostate cancer research, this mechanism is crucial for studying hormone regulation and developing treatment strategies for hormone-sensitive cancers. Its high purity and GMP manufacturing ensure reliability in experimental settings.
