Journal: Antiproliferative activity, enzymatic inhibition and apoptosis-promoting effects of benzoxazole-based hybrids on human breast cancer cells. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 2, 2021 Doxorubicin, cisplatin and 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazole (CJM 126) were used as references...Compound 7a showed inhibition of EGFR comparable to that of erlotinib while compound 8e exhibited nearly half the inhibitory activity of erlotinib towards EGFR and was more potent inhibitor of ARO than letrozole...The predicted docking studies and in silico chemo-informatic properties of compounds 7a and 8e were appropriate. Compounds 7a and 8e are promising anti-breast cancer agents exhibiting potent apoptosis-promoting properties.

Preclinical, Journal: Endogenous hippocampal, not peripheral, estradiol is the key factor affecting the novel object recognition abilities of female rats. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 2, 2021 To confirm the relationship between hippocampal E2 levels and NOR ability, we inhibited the production of hippocampal E2 via microinjection of letrozole (LTZ; an aromatase inhibitor) into the hippocampi of rats in the control group and 8-week OVX group...The data indicated that a reduction in E2 levels in the hippocampus significantly impaired NOR ability and simultaneously decreased Kalirin-7 levels in the hippocampus. In conclusion, our study strongly demonstrates that hippocampal E2, but not peripheral E2, plays a critical role in NOR ability and that Kalirin-7 may be involved in this mechanism.

Endocrine therapy in advanced endometrioid endometrial cancer: a retrospective analysis of clinicopathologic factors () - Oct 1, 2021 - Abstract #ESGO2021ESGO_582; Letrozole (52%) and progestins (48%) were the most frequently used...Conclusion* The clinical benefit of ET was greater in our cohort compared to prior published reports, possibly due to selection of patients with low grade and ER/PR positive tumors. The use of first-line progestins and lack of oligoprogression requiring radiotherapy were significantly associated with longer PFS in this small cohort.

Review, Journal: Letrozole in the management of advanced ovarian cancer: an old drug as a new targeted therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 30, 2021 Letrozole, which has a favorable toxicity profile, seems to assure a prolonged recurrence-free interval, particularly when used as maintenance treatment, in low grade serous ovarian cancer; in recurrent cases it had also led to prolonged disease control. However, the optimal setting and biologically relevant patient population needs to be defined in larger trials.

(Pubmed Central) - Sep 22, 2021 Overall, while this resulted in a significantly greater PFS in favour of the AIs, this did not translate into improvement in OS. The use of boost irradiation was associated with increased risk of acute dermatitis, in the contrary; the use of trastuzumab seemed to be protective as observed in this study.

Preclinical, Journal: Gut Metabolites Are More Predictive of Disease and Cohoused States than Gut Bacterial Features in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome-Like Mouse Model. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 15, 2021 Recently, using a letrozole (LET)-induced mouse model of PCOS, we demonstrated that cohousing was protective against development of metabolic and reproductive phenotypes and showed via 16S amplicon sequencing that this protection correlated with time-dependent shifts in gut bacteria...Network correlation analysis showed strong associations between particular BAs and bacterial species, particularly members of Lactobacillus, and that these correlations were time and treatment dependent. Our results provide novel insights into host-microbe relationships related to hyperandrogenism in females and indicate that focused research into small-molecule control of gut microbial diversity and host physiology may provide new therapeutic options for the treatment of PCOS.

These results could open new avenues into the future of nanomedicine and the development of theranostic agents.
