Aminoglutethimide

Aminoglutethiamide is a drug used in the treatment of advanced breast cancer. It prevents the synthesis of steroids by the adrenal glands (medical adrenalectomy), and also inhibits the reactions of the peripheral conversion of androgens into estrogens. Taken orally, usually in combination with corticosteroid replacement therapy. Side effects, which occur mainly when taking large doses of the drug, can manifest themselves in the form of increased drowsiness, dizziness and short-term skin rashes. Trade name: Orimcten.

AMINO ACID (amino acid) is an organic compound that contains an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH). Amino acids are the main constituent of all proteins (proteins). During the breakdown of proteins in the human body, the following amino acids are formed: alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, cystine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan , tyrosine and valine. Some of these amino acids can be synthesized directly in the human body; others, including essential (essential) amino acids, must be supplied to the body through food. A number of amino acids found in the human body were not found in proteins; these include: citrulline, ornithine, taurine and gamma-aminobutyric acid.
