Dubai Pharmacy College’s Dr. Hanan Anbar: Invited speaker at GMU
Dr. Hanan Anbar, Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Dubai Pharmacy College for Girls (DPCG), delivered a talk on: Promising drug candidates for treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
In the presence of faculty members and master's students, Dr. Hanan explored novel alternatives to the conventional use of metformin for managing PCOS. Dr. Hanan presented several new drug candidates that her team, in collaboration with the University of Sharjah and the University of Oxford, has developed. She emphasized three promising compounds: Irosustat (STX64), STX140, and compound 1G. These drugs were studied for their effectiveness in treating letrozole-induced PCOS in female Wistar rats, providing potential alternatives to metformin, which has been the traditional treatment for PCOS.
