Description

Flutamide is an Androgen Receptor antagonist with Ki=55 nM. Flutamide inhibits prostate cancer progression and has synergistic effects with Docetaxel (HY-B0011). Flutamide also has the potential to protect against hyperthermia-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].

In Vitro

The active metabolite of Flutamide, is Flutamide-OH. Both of them directly bind rat anterior pituitary androgen receptor (Ki=55 nM)[1].
Flutamide does not affect the proliferation of an androgen-sensitive clone of the mouse mammary carcinoma Shionogi SC-l 15 cells in culture, shows only antiandrogenic effect, but not androgenic effect[2].
Flutamide provides treatment for prostate cancer when used along with Leuprolide[3].
Flutamide has cytotoxic activity against PC3 and LNCap (IC50s 20 μM and 12 μM, respectively). Flutamide (10 μM, 5 μM; 48 h) induces apoptosis and reduces cell migration and colonization in PC3 and LNCap cells[4].
Flutamide also downregulates the expression of KLK2 and EMT pathway genes in cells[4].

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

In Vivo

Flutamide causes a markedly reduction in rat ventral prostate weight from 319 mg to 245 mg. A combination of Flutamide and LHRH agonist, induces an additive effect with a decrease in prostate weight to 101 mg, and an marked drop in prostatic ODC activity[5].
Flutamide (12.5-50 mg/kg; sc; once daily for 3 days) alleviates heat stroke in heat-stressed mice[6].

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 (9.05 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 (9.05 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.

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.
