Approved drug
fadrozole is an approved drug (Japan only)
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Fadrozole was designed and reported as a selective aromatase (CYP19A1) inhibitor having only weak effects on aldosterone and cortisol production [1]. More recent evidence suggests that fadrozole is in fact a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 enzymes, CYP11B1 (11-beta-hydroxylase) and CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase) responsible for cortisol and aldosterone synthesis respectively [2].
