Meccanismo d'azione
Goserelin
As a GnRH agonist, goserelin binds to the GnRH receptors of the pituitary gland. Initial stimulation transiently raises luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). With continuous receptor occupancy, however, the receptors become desensitized and down-regulated, which reduces LH and FSH secretion and consequently the production of testosterone or estrogen. This mechanistic relationship is documented in the pharmacological literature.
Icatibant
Icatibant competitively blocks the bradykinin B2 receptor. Because bradykinin mediates the vascular permeability, swelling and pain typical of hereditary angioedema, the blockade interrupts the acute attack.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Goserelin and Icatibant?
- Goserelin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Icatibant is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Goserelin: Goserelin is a synthetic decapeptide and an agonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The medical literature describes it as a hormonal agent that suppresses the release of sex hormones through sustained receptor stimulation. Regulatory-approved indications include prostate cancer, advanced breast cancer, endometriosis, and endometrial thinning, among others. Icatibant: Icatibant is a synthetic decapeptide and selective antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. It is approved to treat acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Goserelin or Icatibant?
- The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Goserelin and "RCT sull'uomo" for Icatibant. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Goserelin and Icatibant in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: Goserelin — Su prescrizione, Icatibant — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Goserelin — Su prescrizione, Icatibant — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
