liarozole fumarate An orally-active fumarate salt of liarozole, an agent with potential antineoplastic. As a retinoic acid metabolism blocking agent (RAMBA), liarozole fumarate inhibits cytochrome P450 dependent all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA)-4-hydroxylase, resulting in an increase in endogenous ATRA production, inhibition of cell proliferation, and induction of cell differentiation. This agent also inhibits aromatase, the enzyme that catalyzes the final, rate-limiting step in estrogen biosynthesis. Check for active clinical trials or closed clinical trials using this agent.
