Abstract excerpt
Exemestane (EXE) is an aromatase inhibitor used for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. The metabolism of EXE includes reduction to form 17-β-hydroxy-EXE (17β-DHE) and subsequent UGT2B17-mediated glucuronidation to form 17-β-hydroxy-EXE-17-O-β-D-glucuronide (17β-DHE-Gluc), and GSTA1-mediated glutathione conjugation of EXE and 17β-DHE and subsequent sequential metabolism by γ-glutamyl...
