Description:
Triptorelin, a
decapeptide (pGlu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Trp-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2), is a
gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist) used as the acetate or
pamoate salts. By causing constant stimulation of the pituitary, it decreases
pituitary secretion of gonadotropins luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle
stimulating hormone (FSH). Like other GnRH agonists, triptorelin may be used in
the treatment of hormone-responsive cancers such as prostate cancer or breast
cancer, precocious puberty, estrogen-dependent conditions (such as
endometriosis or uterine fibroids), and in assisted reproduction. Triptorelin
is marketed under the brand names Decapeptyl (Ipsen) and Diphereline and
Gonapeptyl (Ferring Pharmaceuticals). In theUnited States, it is sold by Watson
as Trelstar.In Iran Triptorelin is marketed under the brand name Variopeptyl
(Varian Darou Pajooh).
