R 76713 is a new non-steroidal compound which inhibits aromatase in vitro and in vivo with a potency of at least 1000-fold that of aminoglutethimide. In male cynomolgus monkeys peripheral conversion of labeled androstenedione to estrone is decreased by 85%, 4-5 h after a single intravenous dose of 0.003 mg/kg of R 76713, without altering steroid metabolic clearance rates. In rats fed a sodium-depleted diet for 3 weeks, plasma levels of aldosterone and plasma renin activity remain unchanged 2 h after a single oral dose of up to 20 mg/kg of R 76713. This confirms previous data on the selectivity of R 76713 for aromatase inhibition as compared to inhibition of other enzymes involved in steroid biosynthesis. In male volunteers, a single oral dose of 5 or 10 mg of R 76713 lowers median plasma estradiol levels from 70 pM to the detection limit of the assay (30 pM) 4 and 8 h after intake, whereas no important changes are detected after placebo administration. In 15 premenopausal female volunteers receiving a single oral dose of 20 mg of R 76713, mean plasma estradiol levels decrease from 415 pM (before) to 179, 149 and 185 pM respectively 4, 8 and 24 h after intake whereas they remain above 380 pM after placebo (n = 7).
