Histrelin acetate, sold under the brand name Supprelin among others, is a nonapeptide analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) with added potency.[2] When present in the bloodstream, it acts on particular cells of the pituitary gland called gonadotropes. Histrelin stimulates these cells to release luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Thus it is considered a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist or GnRH agonist.
