Degarelix (FE 200486 free base) 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].

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.

Cell Line:WPE1-NA22, BPH-1, LNCaP and VCaP

Incubation Time:24, 48 and 72 h
-
Result:Induced a significant increase on caspase 3/7 activation.
Degarelix (FE 200486 free base) 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].

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.

Degarelix (10 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily for 14 d) supplementation led to a lower bacterial burden and less granuloma formation in zebrafish adults infected with M. marinum compared to those fish treated with mock, while degarelix therapeutic effects were similar to RFP effects.

BMDMs pretreated with degarelix (1 μM), aminoguanidine hydrochloride (AGHS, 100 μM), BafA1 (100 nM), NAC (5 mM), Z-VAD (20 μM), or 3-MA (5 mM) were infected with H37Rv (MOI = 2). At different time points after infection, bacterial survival was calculated by dividing the CFU at 24 h by the CFU at 3 h.
