What is Anastrozole (Arimidex)?
Anastrozole (Arimidex) is a non-steroidal triazole aromatase inhibitor — reversibly blocks CYP19A1 with high selectivity. Reduces serum estradiol ~80–90% in research models. Widely used AI reference compound for estrogen suppression, aromatase pharmacology, and comparison vs steroidal AIs. Research use only.
