Degarelix acetate hydrate
Degarelix acetate hydrate (FE 200486 acetate hydrate) is a competitive and reversible gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR/LHRHR) antagonist. Degarelix acetate hydrate can be used for prostate cancer research.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Degarelix 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].

Cell Line:WPMY-1, WPE1-NA22, BPH-1, LNCaP and VCaP
-
Concentration:1 nM-10 μM
-
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
-
Concentration:10 μM
-
Incubation Time:24, 48 and 72 h
-
Result:Induced a significant increase on caspase 3/7 activation.
In Vivo
Degarelix 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.
