Names
Biological Activity
[Description]:
Sufugolix (TAK-013) is a highly potent and orally available luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 0.1 nM.
[Related Catalog]:
[Target]
IC50: 0.1 nM (human LHRH), 0.6 nM (monkey LHRH)[1]
[In Vitro]
Sufugolix exhibits more than 3- and 2000-fold selectivity for the human receptor over the monkey and rat receptors, respectively. Sufugolix effectively antagonizes LHRH function on CHO cells expressing the human (IC50=0.1 nM) and monkey (IC50=0.6 nM) receptors. During the conformational analysis of sufugolix, using high-temperature molecular dynamics calculation, it is observed that the cis conformer of the methoxyurea is more populated than the trans conformer [1].
[In Vivo]
Oral administration of sufugolix causes almost complete suppression of the plasma LH levels in castrated male cynomolgus monkeys at a 30 mg/kg dose with sufficient duration of action (more than 24 h). The maximum plasma concentrations of sufugolix are 0.34 μM (reached 6 h after administration) and 0.18 μM (reached 4 h after administration) at 30 and 10 mg/kg doses, respectively[1].
[Kinase Assay]
The receptor-expressing CHO cells are seeded into 24-well plates at a density of 4×104 cells/well and cultured for 1 day. The cells are then incubated with [5,6,8,9,11,12,14,15-3H]arachidonic acid (11 kBq/well) for 1 day and ished with DMEM supplemented with 20 mM HEPES and 0.2% BSA. The cells are then preincubated with the compounds (Sufugolix) at 37 °C for 60 min and the reaction is started by addition of LHRH (1 nM). After incubation at37 °C for 40 min, radioactivity in the medium is measured with a liquid scintillation counter[1].
[Animal admin]
Monkeys: Sufugolix (10 or 30 mg/kg, 3 mL/kg, n=3 for each group) is suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose containing 1.2% citric acid, or 0.5% methylcellulose containing 1.2% citric acid alone (3 mL/kg, n=3), are administered orally. Blood samples (heparin-plasma) are collected from a femoral vein 24 h before administration and 0, 2, 4, 8, 24, and 48 h after administration. LH concentrations in the plasma are measured by bioassays using mouse testicular cells[1].
