Lecirelin (6-(3-methyl-d-valine)-9-(N-ethyl-L-prolynamide)-10-deglycinamide) luteinizing hormone releasing factor, is a synthetic hypothalamic gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue. Lecirelin is a nonapeptide, while the natural compound is a decapeptide. Moreover, the glycine aminoacid in the 6th position has been substituted by leucine.
