Cetrorelix acetate is a synthetic decapeptide that belongs to the class of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. Its main function is to inhibit the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by blocking the GnRH receptor, thereby preventing premature ovulation. Cetrorelix acetate is used for ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technology.
