Plomestane (INN, USAN; former developmental code name MDL-18962; also known as propargylestrenedione, PED) is a steroidal, irreversible aromatase inhibitor which was under development by Marion Merrell Dow/Hoechst Marion Russell (now Hoechst AG) as an antineoplastic agent for the treatment of breast cancer.[1][2][3][4][5] It was found to be effective in preclinical studies and was also found to produce few adverse effects in human clinical trials, significantly reducing estrogen levels with a single administration.[5] However, development of the drug for clinical use was halted due to "technical issues" and it was never marketed.[6]
In addition to its activity as an aromatase inhibitor, plomestane has weak androgenic properties.[5]
