Cetrorelix acetate
Based on 2 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Cetrorelix (SB-75) acetate is a competitive gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) antagonist with a Kd of 0.19 nM. Cetrorelix acetate inhibits the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), thereby suppressing the secretion of downstream sex steroids. Cetrorelix acetate prevents ovulation, induces reversible reproductive shutdown and azoospermia, reduces ovarian fibrosis, improves superovulation outcomes, and inhibits chemotherapy-induced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. Cetrorelix acetate is applicable for fertility assistance research.

Biological Activity
Cetrorelix acetate induces minimal histamine release from rat mast cells, with an ED50 far above pharmacologically relevant plasma concentrations[3].
Cetrorelix acetate does not inhibit EGF-stimulated proliferation of human granulosa cells at pharmacologically relevant concentrations, with inhibitory effects only seen at ~100-fold higher concentrations[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Cetrorelix (5 μg/day; i.p.; daily; 20 days) acetate alone has no detectable effect on ovarian granulosa cell apoptosis, hormone levels, or mitochondrial function in healthy female Sprague-Dawley rats[1].
Cetrorelix (5 µg/kg; i.p.; once every 3 days or daily; 1 week) acetate significantly increases the number of normal superovulated oocytes in aged female C57BL/6J mice (to 9.8 and 8.7 oocytes, respectively) acetate, reduces ovarian fibrosis, and maintains normal oocyte fertilization and fetal development rates[2].
Cetrorelix (~10 μg/kg; s.c.; single dose) acetate immediately suppresses plasma LH by > 80% in male castrated rats, with full recovery within 24 hours[3].
Cetrorelix (250-1250 μg/kg; s.c.; single dose) acetate immediately suppresses LH in male castrated cynomolgus monkeys, with suppression lasting for at least 96 hours[3].

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (female, 250 g)[1]
-
Dosage:5 μg/day (pretreatment); 5 μg/day + 20 mg/kg/day (combined with alkylating antineoplastic agent)
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 10 days (pretreatment); i.p.; daily; 10 days (combined)
-
Result:Reduced granulosa cell apoptotic index from 13.6% to 3.1%.
Restored serum estradiol levels from ~80 pg/mL to ~160 pg/mL.
Preserved normal granulosa cell ultrastructure including intact mitochondria.
Reversed alkylating antineoplastic agent-induced mitochondrial depolarization, resulting in a green fluorescence intensity of 15.36, red fluorescence intensity of 23.16, and a red/green ratio of 1.51.
Inhibited alkylating antineoplastic agent-induced cytochrome c release from mitochondria to cytoplasm.
Suppressed alkylating antineoplastic agent-induced increases in Bax-positive cells from 90% to 25%, caspase-3-positive cells from 85% to 30%, and cytochrome c-positive cells from 80% to 30%.
Restored alkylating antineoplastic agent-reduced Bcl-2-positive cells from 40% to 70%.

Dosage:5 μg/day
-
Administration:i.p.; daily; 20 days
-
Result:Did not alter granulosa cell apoptotic index (2.8%, similar to control's 2.5%).
Did not change serum estradiol or progesterone levels.
Did not affect granulosa cell ultrastructure, mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome c distribution between mitochondria and cytoplasm, or expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, or cytochrome c.

Animal Model:C57BL/6J (female, 52 weeks old, aged)[2]
-
Dosage:5 µg/kg (3 doses over 1 week); 5 µg/kg (7 doses over 1 week)

Administration:i.p.; once every 3 days (3 doses over 1 week); daily (7 doses over 1 week)
-
Result:Increased mean total oocyte count to 13.2 (3-dose group) and 11.4 (7-dose group), with normal oocyte counts increased to 9.8 (74.2% normal rate) and 8.7 (76.3% normal rate), respectively, compared to controls (P<0.05).
Achieved fertilization rates of 96.9% (3-dose group) and 88.5% (7-dose group), with birth rates of 58.3% and 51.8%, respectively, comparable to control values.
Reduced ovarian fibrosis, with phalloidin-positive area percentage decreased compared to untreated aged controls (P<0.05).
Showed no significant difference in ovary weight compared to control aged mice.
