Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones

Name
Pituitary Hormone-Releasing Hormones
Accession Number
DBCAT000053
Description

Peptides, natural or synthetic, that stimulate the release of PITUITARY HORMONES. They were first isolated from the extracts of the HYPOTHALAMUS; MEDIAN EMINENCE; PITUITARY STALK; and NEUROHYPOPHYSIS. In addition, some hypophysiotropic hormones control pituitary cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and hormone synthesis. Some can act on more than one pituitary hormone.

Drugs
DrugDrug Description
LeuprolideA peptide-based GnRH receptor superagonist used for the palliative treatment of prostate cancer, uterine leiomyomata, endometriosis, and central precocious puberty.
SermorelinFor the treatment of dwarfism, prevention of HIV-induced weight loss
GoserelinA synthetic analog of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone used to treat breast cancer and prostate cancer by reducing secretion of gonadotropins from the pituitary.
GonadorelinA synthetic GnRH used to test the function of gonadotropes and the pituitary.
CorticorelinA synthetic corticotropin-releasing factor analog used to diagnose causes of excessive adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) production.
DeslorelinDeslorelin acetate is an injectable gonadotropin releasing hormone super-agonist also known as an LHRH agonist. It stops the production of sex hormones.
CetrorelixA synthetic peptide antagonist of gonadotropin releasing hormone used to prevent luteinizing hormone surges in women undergoing assisted reproduction therapy.
BuserelinA LHRH agonist used for the palliative treatment of hormone-dependent advanced carcinoma of the prostate gland in males and treatment of endometriosis in females.
GanirelixA GnRH antagonist used in assisted reproduction in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation to control ovulation by inhibiting the premature LH surges.
ProtirelinA synthetic analogue of thyrotropin-releasing hormone that has been used during diagnostic tests to evaluate function of the thyroid gland.
Zoptarelin doxorubicinZoptarelin doxorubicin has been used in trials studying the treatment of Breast Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Endometrial Cancer, and Urothelial Carcinoma, among others.
NafarelinA gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist used to treat central precocious puberty.
TriptorelinA GnRH agonist indicated for the palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
TesamorelinA growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) analog used to reduce excessive abdominal fat in HIV patients who have developed lipodystrophy.
Corticorelin ovine triflutateA synthetic corticotropin-releasing hormone used for diagnostic purposes in differentiating pituitary and ectopic production of ACTH in patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome.
SomatorelinA synthetic version of growth hormone-releasing hormone used in the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency.
