Description

Degarelix is a competitive and reversible gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR/LHRHR) antagonist. Degarelix can be used for prostate cancer research[1].

IC50 & Target

GnRHR[1]
In Vitro

Degarelix shows only very weak histamine-releasing properties and the lowest capacity for histamine release among the antagonists of LHRH, including Cetrorelix (HY-P0009), Abarelix (HY-13534), and Ganirelix (HY-P1628)[1].
Degarelix (1 nM-10 μM, 0-72 h) reduces cell viability in all prostate cell lines (WPE1-NA22, WPMY-1, BPH-1, VCaP cells), with the exception of the PC-3 cells[2].
Degarelix (10 μM, 0-72 h) exerts a direct effect on prostate cell growth through apoptosis[2].

Cell Viability Assay[2]

Cell Line: WPMY-1, WPE1-NA22, BPH-1, LNCaP and VCaP
Concentration: 1 nM-10 μM
Incubation Time: WPMY-1 cells at 48 and 72h, WPE1-NA22 cells at 72 hours, BPH-1 cells at 48 and 72h, LNCaP cells at 48 and 72h
Result: Reduced cell viability in all prostate cell lines, with the exception of the PC-3 cells.

Apoptosis Analysis[2]

Cell Line: WPE1-NA22, BPH-1, LNCaP and VCaP
Concentration: 10 μM
Incubation Time: 24, 48 and 72 h
Result: Induced a significant increase on caspase 3/7 activation.
In Vivo

Degarelix (0-10 μg/kg; s.c.; once) decreases plasma LH levels and plasma testosterone levels in a dose-dependent manner in castrated rats[3].
Degarelix is stable when incubated in microsomes and cryopreserved hepatocytes from animal liver tissue. In rat and dog, most of the degarelix dose is eliminated within 48 h via urine and feces in equal amounts (40–50% in each matrix), whereas in monkey the major route of excretion is fecal (50%) and renal (22%)[4].

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

Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats, castrated[3]
Dosage: 0.3, 1, 3 and 10 μg/kg or 12.5, 50, and 200 μg/kg
Administration: Subcutaneous injection, once
Result: Produced a dose-dependent and reversible decrease in plasma LH levels with a minimal effective dose of 3 μg/kg.
For the 50 μg/kg and 200 μg/kg doses, t1/2 of absorption values were 4 min and 30 min, Tmax values were 1 h and 5 h, and apparent plasma disappearance t1/2 values were 12 h and 67 h, respectively.
Produced a dose-dependent decrease in plasma testosterone levels with a minimal effective dose of 1 μg/kg.

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    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (0.61 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (0.61 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 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.

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.
