Fadrozole hydrochloride (CAT: I011410) is a selective aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens into estrogens, and by inhibiting this enzyme, fadrozole hydrochloride reduces the production of estrogen. It has been primarily studied for its potential use in the treatment of hormone-sensitive breast cancer, as estrogen plays a crucial role in the growth and proliferation of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells. Fadrozole hydrochloride is also used in preclinical research to investigate the role of estrogen in various physiological and pathological processes.
