IUPAC name: 4-[(4-cyanophenyl)-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]benzonitrile

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): antineoplastic agent, EC 1.14.14.14 (aromatase) inhibitor.

Also known as: CGS 20267, CGS-20267, Femara, Letrozol, Letrozole, NSC-759652, letrozole, SID11112889, LETROZOLE, SID124882709, SID144213877, SID144204270

Patent coverage: 19,893 distinct patent families (81,122 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 1 matched compound structure(s). Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.

Pharmacology

Pharmacogenomics

No CPIC/DPWG dosing guideline, but PharmGKB curates 19 clinical and 86 variant annotation(s) for this drug (gene-keyed; see PharmGKB).

Molecules sharing ≥1 of this drug’s curated primary targets, merged from two biobtree sources and ranked by shared-target count, then clinical phase: ChEMBL clinical-stage candidates (development phase ≥2) and PubChem drug-class bioactivity (approved / known drugs acting on the target). Deduplicated by drug name; the drug’s own salt forms are excluded. Note: for a drug with few primary targets a shared-target match can reflect off-target / promiscuous binding rather than the same therapeutic mechanism — the phase ordering surfaces bona-fide therapeutics first.

40 molecules share ≥1 primary target. Top 40 by shared-target count:
