lüll Aromatase inhibition: translation into a successful therapeutic approach Geisler J; Lonning PEClin Cancer Res 2005[Apr]; 11 (8): 2809-21The development of the novel third-generation aromatase inhibitors and inactivators for breast cancer treatment is one of the most successful contemporary achievements in cancer therapy. Parallel to studies evaluating toxicity and clinical efficacy in metastatic disease, the endocrine effects of multiple compounds were evaluated, leading to the identification of the highly potent third-generation aromatase inhibitors based on estrogen deprivation and aromatase inhibition in vivo. Thus, translational studies have been of vital importance identifying the unique characteristics of these compounds. Whereas first- and second-generation aromatase inhibitors inhibit estrogen synthesis in vivo by up to 90%, the third-generation compounds anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole were found to cause > or =98% aromatase inhibition. This article summarizes and discusses the "translational research" that provided the background for the implementation of the third-generation aromatase inhibitors and inactivators into large clinical trials. The need for future translational research exploiting the mechanisms of resistance to these compounds for future improvement of endocrine therapy is emphasized.|Anastrozole[MESH]|Androstadienes/chemistry/therapeutic use[MESH]|Antineoplastic Agents/chemistry/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Aromatase Inhibitors/chemistry/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Aromatase/metabolism[MESH]|Breast Neoplasms/*drug therapy/metabolism/pathology[MESH]|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Estrogens/metabolism[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Letrozole[MESH]|Molecular Structure[MESH]|Nitriles/chemistry/therapeutic use[MESH]|Triazoles/chemistry/therapeutic use[MESH] |
