Exemestane breast cancer drug. Computer model of a molecule of the breast cancer drug exemestane. This drug,marketed as Aromasin,is taken orally as a treatment for breast cancer. It inhibits the production of oestrogen,a hormone that stimulates the growth of breast cancer tumours,by inhibiting the aromastase enzyme that produces oestrogen from androgen steroid hormones. As a result the drug limits the growth of tumours. The molecule's chemical formula is C20.H24.O2. The atoms are shown as colour-coded areas in this ball-and-stick model: carbon (gold),hydrogen (dark blue),and oxygen (light blue) | |
