Dehydroepiandrosterone (INTRAROSA™, prasterone) is a major C19 steroid produced from cholesterol by the adrenal cortex. It is also produced in small quantities in the testis and the ovary. Dehydroepiandrosterone (INTRAROSA, prasterone) is structurally similar to, and is a precursor of, androstenedione, testosterone, estradiol, estrone and estrogen. It indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia, a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, due to menopause. The mechanism of action of dehydroepiandrosterone (INTRAROSA, prasterone) in postmenopausal women with vulvar and vaginal atrophy is not fully established.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Administer one INTRAROSA vaginal insert once daily at bedtime, using the provided applicator.

Route of Administration: Vaginal

In Vitro Use Guide

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) bound to AR with a Ki of 1 microM, which was associated with AR transcriptional antagonism on both the mouse mammary tumor virus and prostate-specific antigen promoters. DHEA bound to ERalpha and ERbeta, with Ki values of 1.1 and 0.5 microM, respectively. Despite the similar binding affinities, DHEA showed preferential agonism of ERbeta with an EC50 of approximately 200 nm and maximal activation at 1 microM. With ERalpha 30-70% agonism at 5 microM was found.
