11-Ketodihydrotestosterone
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (11-KDHT; 5α-Dihydro-11-keto testosterone) is an endogenous steroid and a metabolite of 11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione. 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone is an active androgen and is also a potent androgen receptor (AR) agonist with a Ki of 20.4 nM and an EC50 of 1.35 nM for human AR. 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone drives gene regulation, protein expression and cell growth in androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells.

11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (11-KDHT; 1-10 nM; 24 hours; LNCaP and VCaP cells) treatment induces significant cell proliferation[1].
11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (11-KDHT; 0.1-10 nM; 7-10 days; LNCaP and VCaP cells) treatment results in the significant upregulation of KLK3, TMPRSS2 and FKBP5 in both LNCaP and VCaP cells, with the exception of KLK3 at 1 nM in LNCaP cells[1].
In PNT2 cells, only 20% of 11β-hydroxyandrostenedione (11OHA4) and 11β-hydroxytestosterone (11OHT) are metabolised with the former yielding 11keto-androstenedione (11KA4), 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (11-KDHT) and 11β-hydroxy-5α-androstanedione (11OH-5αDIONE) and the latter yielding 11OHA4, 11KT and 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone with downstream products <0.03 μM[2].
In prostate cancer tissue, C11-oxy C19 metabolites at significantly higher levels than the C19 steroids are detected, with unconjugated 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone, 11KT and 11OHA4 levels ranging between 13 and 37.5 ng/g. Analyses of total steroid levels in plasma show significant levels of 11OHA4 (≈230-440 nM), 11KT (≈250-390 nM) and 11-Ketodihydrotestosterone (≈19 nM)[2].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.21 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 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (8.21 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
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.
