Pharmacology
Anastrozole is a selective non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that suppresses estrogen biosynthesis by blocking the aromatase enzyme, significantly lowering serum estradiol concentrations in postmenopausal women without affecting adrenal corticosteroid or aldosterone formation.
Capivasertib is a pan-AKT inhibitor that blocks all three serine/threonine kinase AKT isoforms (AKT1, AKT2, AKT3), inhibiting phosphorylation of downstream AKT substrates and suppressing tumor growth driven by PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN pathway alterations.
