Triptorelin acetate - Other Categories

Triptorelin is an agonist of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH-R). Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), based on GnRH agonists and antagonists, is the standard therapeutic approach for prostate cancer (PCa) patients. In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) GnRH agonists are associated with significant anti-proliferative/pro-apoptotic, anti-metastatic and anti-angiogenic effects, mediated by the Gαi/cAMP signalling cascade. The tryptophan residue in this peptide is replaced with the D-amino acids making the peptide resistant to degradation from proteases and therefore increasing the half-life of the peptide in vivo. Peptide is for research purposes only, strictly not for human use.
