Description

D4-abiraterone is a major metabolite of abiraterone. D4-abiraterone is an inhibitor of CYP17A1, 3b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD) and steroid-5a-reductase (SRD5A) and also an antagonist of androgen receptor.

IC50 & Target

CYP17A1, 3βHSD, SRD5A, androgen receptor[1]

In Vitro

D4-abiraterone (D4A ) (10 mM) nearly completely blocks conversion from D4-androstenedione (AD) to 5α-androstanedione and other 5α-reduced androgens. The affinity of D4-abiraterone for mutant (expressed in LNCaP, half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50=5.3 nM)) and wild type (expressed in LAPC4, IC50=7.9 nM) androgen receptor (AR) is greater than that of abiraterone (Abi) (IC50=418 and >500 nM, respectively). Compare with Abi, D4-abiraterone clearly better suppresses PSA, TMPRSS2 and FKBP5 expression in LNCAP, LAPC4 and C4-2 cell lines. D4-abiraterone also inhibits AR target gene expression in a dose-dependent manner[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

D4-abiraterone (D4A) is tenfold more potent than abiraterone (Abi) in blocking conversion from dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) by 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD) to D4-androstenedione (AD) in LNCaP and VCaP xenografts. 0.1 μM D4-abiraterone is equivalent to 1 μM Abi for blocking AD accumulation at 48 h in both LNCaP and VCaP xenografts. Progression is significantly delayed in the D4-abiraterone group compare with the Abi acetate group (P=0.011). D4-abiraterone treatment increases progression-free survival compare with Abi acetate[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.19 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.19 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Kinase Assay
[1]

To test D4-abiraterone (D4A) as an inhibitor of 3βHSD, enzyme assays are performed. Briefly, incubations are prepared with recombinant human 3βHSD1 or 3βHSD2 (in yeast microsomes, 45 or 2.5 μg protein per incubation, respectively), D4-abiraterone (5 to 20 μM) or ethanol vehicle in 0.5 mL of potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). After a pre-incubation at 37°C for 1 to 3 min, NAD+ (1 mM) is added, and the incubation is conducted at 37°C for 20 min. The reaction is stopped by addition of 1 mL ethyl acetate:isooctane (1:1), and the steroids are then extracted into the organic phase and dried. The steroids in the dried extracts are resolved by HPLC and quantitated by in-line scintillation counting[1].

Cell Assay
[1]

Cells are cultured in serum-free medium for 48 h and then treated with the indicated concentrations of D4-abiraterone (D4A) for 30 min. Cells are washed with 1×PBS four times and 0.9% NaCl solution twice before lysis with RIPA buffer. Intracellular radioactivity is measured with a liquid scintillation counter and normalized to the protein concentration as detected with a Multilabel counter[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Male NSG mice, 6 to 8 weeks of age are used in this study. Mice are surgically orchiectomized and implanted with a 5 mg 90-day sustained-release dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) pellet to mimic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in the context of human adrenal physiology. Two days later, 107 VCaP or C4-2 cells are injected subcutaneously with matrigel. Once tumours reach 300mm3, mice are arbitrarily (but not strictly randomized) assigned to vehicle (n=9 or 10 mice for VCaP and C4-2 respectively), D4-abiraterone (D4A) (n=10 mice for both cell lines) treatment groups. D4-abiraterone (0.5 mmol per kg per day in 0.1 mL 5% benzyl alcohol and 95% safflower oil solution) is administered via 5 mL per kg intraperitoneal injection every day for up to 15 days. Control groups are administered 0.1 mL 5% benzyl alcohol and 95% safflower oil solution via intraperitoneal injection every day. Tumour volume is measured daily, and time to increase in tumour volume by 20% is determined. Mice are killed at treatment day 15 or when the tumour size is twofold greater than baseline[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
