Apalutamide (ARN-509) also exhibits low micromolar affinity (IC50 3 μM) for the GABAA receptor in radioligand binding-assays and thus may potentially antagonize GABAA at therapeutic dose levels[1]. Apalutamide is a potent androgen receptor (AR) antagonist that targets the AR ligand-binding domain and prevents AR nuclear translocation, DNA binding, and transcription of AR gene targets[2].

Protocole
Trypsinized VCaP cells are adjusted to a concentration of 100,000 cells per mL in phenol-red-free RPMI 1640 (with 5% CSS), and dispensed in 16 µL aliquots into CellBIND 384 well plates. Cells are incubated for 48 hours, after which ligand is added in a 16 µL volume to the RPMI culture medium. For the antagonist mode assay, the ligands are diluted in culture medium also containing 30 pM R1881. After 7 days’ incubation, 16 µL of CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay is added and Relative Luminescence Units (RLUs) measured[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice[1]
In vivo xenograft experiments to determine anti-tumor response are carried out in SHO SCID male mice. Mice are orchiectomized under isoflorane anesthesia and are given 2-3 days to recover prior to tumor cell injection. LNCaP/AR(cs) cells are suspended in 50% RPMI, 50% Matrigel, and 5×106 cells/xenograft are injected in a volume of 100 μL. Animals are observed weekly until tumor growth is apparent. From 24 d post-injection, tumors are measured weekly, and after 40-60 days post-injection, animals are randomized into cohorts of equivalent mean (150-250 mm3) and range tumor burden. All compounds (e.g., Apalutamide, 30 mg/kg per day) are administered daily by oral gavage. Statistical analyses are performed using Graphpad Prism.
