Description

Anastrozole is a potent, highly selective aromatase inhibitor, which inhibits human placental aromatase with an IC50 of 15 nM.

IC50 & Target

Aromatase

 

In Vitro

Anastrozole is a comparatively simple, achiral benzyltriazole derivative, that inhibits human placental aromatase with an IC50 of 15 nM. In the same assay it is 200 times as potent as aminoglutethimide (AG), twice as potent as 4-OHA and one third as potent as Fadrozole[1].

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

In Vivo

Groups of eight immature (22-day-old) female rats are given androstenedione (AD) (30 mg/kg) in arachis oil s.c. daily for 3 days with or without various doses of Anastrozole p.o. on day 4 the uteri are dissected, blotted and weighed. An oral dose of 0.1 mg/kg of Anastrozole given on day 2 or day 3 of the cycle completely blocked ovulation. At the same daily dosage (0.1 mg/kg), Anastrozole completely extinguished the uterotrophic activity of exogenous AD in immature rats. In male pigtailed monkeys, twice-daily oral treatment with 0.1 mg/kg and above of Anastrozole reduced circulating oestradiol concentrations by 50-60%[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    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.52 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.
  • Protocol 2

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

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (8.52 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.

Kinase Assay
[1]

Aromatase inhibition is measured using human placental microsomes and the method of Thompson and Siiteri with Testosterone (0.5 μM) as substrate. 11-hydroxylase inhibition is determined by measuring the conversion of [1,2,6,7-3H]-ll-deoxy- cortisol to cortisol using freshly prepared mitochondria from guinea pig, dog and cow adrenal glands. Reaction products are extracted into chloroform and separated by thin layer chromatography[1].

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]
Groups of at least eight adult female rats, housed in controlled lighting (on 06.00-20.00 h) and temperature (24±2°C) and undergoing 4-day oestrous cycles, are treated p.o. with a single dose of Anastrozole (0.01-0.1 mg/kg), Fadrozole (0.01-0.1 mg/kg) or AG (5-20 mg/kg) on day 2 at 16.00 h or day 3 at 12.00 h. The presence or absence of eggs in the oviducts on day 1 of the next cycle is then determined. Ovulation is considered blocked when no eggs are found.

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.
