🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionLetrozole is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Food does not significantly affect the extent of absorption, but it may slightly delay the rate. The absolute bioavailability is approximately 99.9%.

DistributionLetrozole is widely distributed into body tissues. It has a large volume of distribution (approximately 1.9 L/kg). It crosses the placenta and is excreted in breast milk. It is not known whether it crosses the blood-brain barrier.

Protein BindingLetrozole is weakly bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin, with a binding fraction of approximately 60%.

MetabolismLetrozole is extensively metabolized in the liver, primarily by cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2A6, into a pharmacologically inactive carbinol metabolite. This metabolite is glucuronidated and excreted mainly in urine.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of letrozole is approximately 2 days (42 hours).

ExcretionLetrozole is excreted primarily in urine (about 90%) as glucuronide conjugates, with a small amount (about 5%) excreted in feces. Only a negligible amount is excreted unchanged.

BioavailabilityThe absolute bioavailability of letrozole is approximately 99.9%.

Onset of ActionThe onset of estrogen suppression occurs within 24-48 hours after a single oral dose. For fertility treatment, ovulation typically occurs within 5-10 days after a course of treatment.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations are reached approximately 2 hours after oral administration.

Duration of ActionThe estrogen-suppressing effect lasts for approximately 24-48 hours after a single dose, but continuous daily dosing is required for sustained therapeutic effect. In fertility treatment, the effect on ovulation is temporary and occurs within a specific cycle.

How It Works

This medicine is a potent and selective non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. It works by binding reversibly to the aromatase enzyme (cytochrome P450 19A1), which is responsible for converting androgens such as testosterone and androstenedione into estrogens like estradiol and estrone. By inhibiting aromatase, this medicine significantly reduces circulating estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, where estrogen is primarily produced through peripheral aromatization of androgens. In hormone-sensitive breast cancer, this reduction in estrogen deprives tumor cells of the growth stimulus they need, thereby slowing or stopping tumor growth. In fertility treatment, the reduction in estrogen feedback leads to increased secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary, which stimulates ovarian follicles to mature and release eggs.

Mechanism Steps

1

Binding to aromatase enzyme: This medicine binds reversibly to the heme iron of the aromatase enzyme, competing with the natural substrate androstenedione.

2

Inhibition of estrogen synthesis: By blocking aromatase, the conversion of androgens to estrogens is inhibited, leading to a significant decrease in estrogen production in peripheral tissues and the ovaries.

3

Reduction in circulating estrogen levels: The decreased synthesis results in lower levels of estradiol and estrone in the blood, depriving estrogen-dependent tissues of growth stimulation.

4

Effect on hormone-sensitive breast cancer: In breast cancer cells that express estrogen receptors, the reduced estrogen levels lead to decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis, slowing tumor growth.

5

Effect on ovulation induction: In premenopausal women, the drop in estrogen reduces negative feedback on the pituitary, increasing FSH secretion, which promotes follicular development and ovulation.

Dosage Information

Adult Dosage	The usual adult dose of this medicine for breast cancer is 2.5 mg taken orally once daily, with or without food. For ovulation induction, the dose is typically 2.5 mg to 5 mg once daily for 5 days, starting on day 3 to 5 of the menstrual cycle. The dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on the indication, patient's age, weight, renal and hepatic function, and response to treatment. Do not adjust the dose without medical advice.
Pediatric Dosage	Pediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatrician.
Elderly Dosage	No dose adjustment is required for elderly patients based on age alone. However, elderly patients may be more susceptible to side effects such as bone loss and cardiovascular events. Regular monitoring is advised.
Renal Impairment	No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 10-80 mL/min). Caution is advised in severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <10 mL/min) due to limited data.
Hepatic Impairment	No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. In severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C), letrozole should be used with caution and dose reduction may be considered based on clinical judgment.
Maximum Daily Dose	The maximum recommended daily dose is 2.5 mg for breast cancer. For ovulation induction, doses up to 7.5 mg daily have been used in clinical trials, but the maximum should not exceed 7.5 mg daily. Always follow your doctor's prescription.
