Anastrozole and Related Glucuronic Acid Conjugate are Electrophilic Species
Xenobiotica. 2022 Jun 3:1-12. doi: 10.1080/00498254.2022.2086503. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnastrozole (ANA), is an inhibitor of non-steroidal aromatase, widely employed for the treatment of breast cancer. However, ANA-associated liver injury cases have been documented in the application of the drug.The major purposes of the present study were to identify the structure of reactive metabolites derived from ANA and to study related metabolic pathways of ANA.We found ANA itself is an electrophilic species reactive to GSH. ANA can be metabolized to ANA-N+-glucuronide (1) catalyzed by UGT1A4. An ANA GSH conjugate (2) was d...

Evaluation of Pharmacokinetics and Safety With Bioequivalence of Anastrozole in Healthy Chinese Volunteers: Bioequivalence Study Findings
AbstractAnastrozole is a third-generation aromatase inhibitor that exerts potent anti –breast cancer effects. This trial aimed to explore the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety with bioequivalence of orally administered anastrozole provided by 2 sponsors in healthy volunteers.Two separate open-label, randomized, single-dose, crossover-design studies consisting of a fasting study (n = 23) and a fed study (n = 23, 1 participant withdrew before taking medication) were conducted. In each study, healthy volunteers were randomized to receive the test product (Haizheng Pharmaceutical Group) followed by the reference drug (AstraZe...

Novel Meibomian Gland and Tarsal Conjunctival Changes Associated with Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, and Anastrozole Treatment for Metastatic HER2 Positive Breast Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review
The aim of the study was to report a case of severe meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and conjunctival changes associated with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and anastrozole therapy in a HER-2 positive breast cancer patient. A 57-year-old white woman was treated with trastuzumab and pertuzumab biological and anastrozole endocrine therapy for metastatic breast cancer for several months. She suffered from intense eye pain and foreign body sensation. On the ocular surface, severe MGD developed without corneal lesions. On the tarsal conjunctiva, circumscribed lesions evolved 6 months after receiving anticancer therapy. After biopsy,...

Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma: a Retrospective Study from a Tertiary Cancer Institute
AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the clinico-pathological behaviour and treatment patterns of low-grade serous carcinomas (LGSC) of ovary treated at a regional cancer centre. A retrospective analysis was done for the histopathology-proven cases of low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, treated at a tertiary cancer institute between January, 2010, and September, 2019. There were 28 patients identified from the medical records with low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma. Median age of the patients was 43  years [22–79 years]. Average BMI was 22.3 ± 4.0 kg/m2 [range 15.2 –31.2]. Twenty-one (75%) were parous ...

Efficacy and safety of letrozole or anastrozole in the treatment of male infertility with low testosterone ‐estradiol ratio: a meta‐analysis and systematic review
Conclusion: AIs may be effective in the treatment of male infertility. For male infertile patients planning assisted reproduction, discontinuation of AIs for 2 –7 days prior to sperm retrieval may increase the success rate of fertilization. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate these findings.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved (Source: Andrology)

Poorly Differentiated Scrotal Carcinoma With Apocrine Immunophenotype
Abstract: Cutaneous carcinoma of the scrotum is rare with the most common type being squamous cell carcinoma. Here, we report 6 cases of poorly differentiated carcinoma with apocrine immunophenotype. Mean age at presentation was 68 years (range: 31–91 years). Clinical presentation included eczematous rash over mass, scrotal cyst, ulcerated mass, and mass. Tumor size ranged from 1.2 to 5.5 cm (average 2.5 cm). The tumors were solid with involvement of the dermis/hypodermis and composed of cords and nests of eosinophilic cells displaying nuclei with prominent nucleoli and surrounded by desmoplastic stroma. Focal squamo...
