Danazol is a synthetic gonadotropin inhibitor which has a preventive effect on estrogen -related endometrial carcinogenesis in mice. Danazol therapy has also shown regression of established mammary carcinoma in rats. Danazol prevents ovulation by suppressing the increase of luteinizing hormone during the middle of the menstrual cycle. Danazol inhibits ovarian steroidogenesis resulting in decreased secretion of estradiol and may increase androgens. Danazol displaces testosterone from sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), displacing it and increasing serum testosterone levels. Danazol also directly stimulates androgen and progesterone receptors.

| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
