The aromatase inhibitory properties of the antifungal ketoconazole were compared with those of aminoglutethimide. In rat granulosa cells ketoconazole and aminoglutethimide showed IC50 values for aromatase inhibition of 2 X 10(-6) and 6 X 10(-7) M respectively. In the rat, in vivo, ketoconazole was 5 times less potent than aminoglutethimide. In young women, 400 mg of ketoconazole only marginally lowered plasma levels of estradiol-17 beta. It is concluded that ketoconazole is not a compound of choice for clinical use as an aromatase inhibitor.
