AG-205
Based on 1 Customer Validation
AG-205 is a progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) antagonist and CGT inhibitor, with an IC50 of 50 μM against rat CGT. AG-205 exhibits antimitotic, antimigratory and anti-invasive activities. AG-205 increases the expression of genes encoding cholesterol biosynthesis pathway or steroidogenic enzymes. AG-205 promotes the regulation of cell cycle by apoptosis and reduces the migratory and invasive capacities of ovarian and breast cancer cells. AG-205 can be used in research related to renal cancer and breast cancer.

Biological Activity
AG-205 (10-40 μM; 24 h) significantly increases the survival rate of SMKT-R3 human renal cancer cells[1].
AG-205 (2-10 μM) specifically reduces sulfatide levels in SMKT-R3 human renal cancer cells, with no effect on major non-sphingolipids[1].
AG-205 (10 μM; 6 h) specifically inhibits the synthesis of CGT-dependent galactolipids (GalC, MGDG) and sulfatides in CHO-CGT and CHO-Sulf cells expressing galactosylceramide synthase, while promoting the synthesis of GlcC[1].
AG-205 (10 μM; 48 h) inhibits the synthesis of GalC and MGDG and promotes the synthesis of GlcC in CHO-CGT cells, and this effect is independent of the expression of PGRMC1 or PGRMC2[1].
AG-205 (50 μM; 30 min) significantly inhibits the in vitro activity of UDP-galactose:ceramide galactosyltransferase (CGT) derived from CHO-CGT cells[1].
Pretreatment with AG-205 (50 μM; 24 h) abolishes the anti-apoptotic effect of progesterone against H2O2-induced cell death in human granulosa/luteal cells[2].
AG-205 (50 μM; overnight) reduces the nuclear localization level of PGRMC1 in human granulosa/luteal cells, with most PGRMC1 retained in the cytoplasm[2].
AG-205 (50 μM; overnight) increases the cytoplasmic level of HRK protein in human granulosa/luteal cells[2].
AG-205 (50 μM; overnight) disrupts the colocalization of cytochrome c with mitochondria in human granulosa/luteal cells, but does not alter the total level of cytochrome c in the cells[2].
AG-205 (50 μM; overnight) enhances the interaction between PGRMC1 and PGRMC2 in human granulosa/luteal cells, as evidenced by a 2.3-fold increase in PLA dots per cell[2].
AG-205 (50 μM; overnight) increases the expression level of Hrk mRNA by 6-8 folds in human granulosa/luteal cells, while slightly elevating the mRNA expression levels of several anti-apoptotic genes by 1.5-3 folds[2].
AG-205 (15 μM; 32 h) significantly upregulates the mRNA expression levels of genes encoding cholesterol biosynthetic enzymes, the sterol regulatory factor INSIG1, and steroidogenic enzymes in human endometrial T-HESC and HEC-1A cell lines[3].
AG-205 (15 μM; 80 h) upregulates the mRNA expression of HSD17B7, MSMO1 and INSIG1 in human endometrial T-HESC and HEC-1A cell lines, and this process is independent of PGRMC1 expression[3].
AG-205 (15 μM; 80 h) upregulates the mRNA expression of HSD17B7, MSMO1, and INSIG1 in human endometrial T-HESC and HEC-1A cell lines, and this process is independent of the expression of all four members of the MAPR family (PGRMC1, PGRMC2, NENF, CYB5D2)[3].
AG-205 (15 μM; 32 h) does not alter the mRNA or protein expression levels of PGRMC1 in the human endometrial T-HESC and HEC-1A cell lines, nor does it change the subcellular localization of PGRMC1 in these cell lines[3].
