Goserelin

Identification

Summary

Goserelin is a synthetic analog of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone used to treat breast cancer and prostate cancer by reducing secretion of gonadotropins from the pituitary.

DrugBank Accession Number
DB00014
Background

Goserelin is a synthetic hormone. In men, it stops the production of the hormone testosterone, which may stimulate the growth of cancer cells. In women, goserelin decreases the production of the hormone estradiol (which may stimulate the growth of cancer cells) to levels similar to a postmenopausal state. When the medication is stopped, hormone levels return to normal.

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacokinetics of goserelin have been determined in both male and female healthy volunteers and patients. In these studies, goserelin was administered as a single 250µg (aqueous solution) dose and as a single or multiple 3.6 mg depot dose by subcutaneous route.

Mechanism of action

Goserelin is a synthetic decapeptide analogue of LHRH. Goserelin acts as a potent inhibitor of pituitary gonadotropin secretion when administered in the biodegradable formulation. The result is sustained suppression of LH and serum testosterone levels.

Absorption

Inactive orally, rapidly absorbed following subcutaneous administration.

Volume of distribution
  • 44.1 ± 13.6 L [subcutaneous administration of 250 mcg]
Protein binding

27.3%

Metabolism

Hepatic

Route of elimination

Clearance of goserelin following subcutaneous administration of a radiolabeled solution of goserelin was very rapid and occurred via a combination of hepatic and urinary excretion. More than 90% of a subcutaneous radiolabeled solution formulation dose of goserelin was excreted in urine.

Half-life

4-5 hours

Clearance
  • 121 +/- 42.4 mL/min [prostate cancer with 10.8 mg depot]
