Alarelin is a peptide agonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).{36464} It binds to the GnRH receptor (GnRHR) with a Kd value of 0.2 nM. Alarelin (6 ng, i.c.v.) decreases the expression of GnRH in the preoptic area and GnRHR in the posterior mediobasal hypothalamus (pMBH) of ovariectomized estradiol-treated rats, indicating an ultrashort negative feedback loop on GnRH and GnRHR gene expression.{57077} It induces desensitization in the pituitary and decreases serum estradiol levels and ovarian and uterine weight in neonatal and adult female rats.{57078} Alarelin reduces tumor growth in an HEC-1-B human endometrial carcinoma mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 20, 40, and 80 µg/kg.{57079}
