Buserelin
Buserelin is one of the original GnRH agonists, approved in Europe and Canada in the 1980s for advanced prostate cancer and also used in endometriosis and fertility treatment; it is not sold in the United States.
Overview
Buserelin, developed by Hoechst, was among the first GnRH agonists to reach the market and has been used since the mid-1980s in Europe, Canada and elsewhere for hormone-dependent advanced prostate cancer, given as a depot injection or nasal spray, with the same testosterone suppression and tumour flare as its class. Its wider use has been in endometriosis and in vitro fertilisation cycles. Goserelin, leuprolide and triptorelin displaced it in most oncology settings because of their longer depot formulations.
A GnRH analogue that after an initial stimulation desensitises pituitary GnRH receptors, shutting down gonadotrophin release and so testosterone or oestrogen production. Connects to GnRH receptor (GNRHR).
