Arimistane™ promoted as a potent aromatase inhibitor (AI) that works to decrease circulating levels of estrogen in the body along with cortisol levels.
It is purported to reduce the amount of androgens in the body that can convert into estrogen by acting as a suicide inhibitor. Binding to the aromatase enzyme and creating an irreversible reaction.
Word of caution.
This from Patrick Arnold over at Prohormone Forum.com:
"The whole family of 7-oxygenated dhea metabolites are fascinating compounds, for many reasons other than aromatase inhibition. The compound under discussion here is not a major metabolite though, and so its very unlikely you could acheive therapeutic drug levels in your body by ingesting any reasonable amount of 7-keto"
