Gonadorelin

Peptide Medicineprescription

Synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone used diagnostically and in specialized pulsatile fertility therapy. It is distinct from long-acting GnRH agonists and from ganirelix, a GnRH antagonist.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for gonadorelin is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.

Research behind this entry

  1. Modulatory effects of gonadorelin on GABA-induced depolarization and GABA-activated current in rat spinal ganglion neurons Zhou XP, Wu XP, Guan BC, Li ZW · Acta Pharmacologica Sinica, 1996

    Rat-neuron experiment examined gonadorelin modulation of GABA responses. It does not establish a neurologic indication or clinical benefit in humans.

  2. Pharmacokinetics of gonadotropin-releasing hormone: comparison of subcutaneous and intravenous routes Handelsman DJ, Jansen RP, Boylan LM, Spaliviero JA, Turtle JR · Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1984 DOI

    Human study showed lower, delayed, and prolonged GnRH exposure after SC delivery compared with IV administration, including about one-third lower steady-state levels during continuous SC infusion.

2 published studies referenced in the app, each with a plain-language summary.
