Product Description
Degarelix acetate hydrate is a competitive, reversible gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR/LHRHR) antagonist. Degarelix acetate hydrate may be used in prostate cancer research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Degarelix exhibits only very weak histamine-releasing properties and has the lowest histamine-releasing capacity among LHRH antagonists, including Cetrorelix, Abarelix, and Ganirelix [1]. Degarelix (1 nM-10 μM, 0-72 hours) reduces cell viability in all prostate cell lines (WPE1-NA22, WPMY-1, BPH-1, VCaP cells), except PC-3 cells [2] . Degarelix (10 μM, 0-72 hours) exerts a direct effect on prostate cell growth through apoptosis [2]. Cell viability assay[2] Cell lines: WPMY-1, WPE1-NA22, BPH-1, LNCaP and VCaP Concentration: 1 nM-10 μM Incubation time: 48 hours and 72 hours for WPMY-1 cells, 72 hours for WPE1-NA22 cells , BPH-1 cells (48 hours and 72 hours), LNCaP cells (48 hours and 72 hours) Results: Cell viability was reduced in all prostate cell lines except PC-3 cells. Apoptosis analysis[2] Cell lines: WPE1-NA22, BPH-1, LNCaP and VCaP Concentration: 10 μM Incubation time: 24, 48 and 72 hours Results: Induced significant increase in caspase 3/7 activation.
ln Vivo
Degarelix (0-10 μg/kg; subcutaneous injection; once) reduces plasma LH levels and plasma testosterone levels in castrated rats in a dose-dependent manner [3]. Degarelix is stable when incubated in microsomes and cryopreserved hepatocytes from animal liver tissue. In rats and dogs, the majority of the degarelix dose is eliminated via urine and feces in equal amounts (40-50% in each matrix) within 48 hours, whereas in monkeys the main route of excretion is feces (50 %) and kidney (22%)[4]. Animal model: Male Sprague-Dawley rat, castrated [3] Dosage: 0.3, 1, 3 and 10 μg/kg or 12.5, 50 and 200 μg/kg Administration: subcutaneous injection, once Result: Dose-dependent And the minimum reversible effective dose is 3 μg/kg to reduce plasma LH levels. For the 50 μg/kg and 200 μg/kg doses, absorption t1/2 values were 4 minutes and 30 minutes, Tmax values were 1 hour and 5 hours, and apparent plasma disappearance t1/2 values were 12 hours and 67 hours, respectively. The minimum effective dose is 1 μg/kg, and plasma testosterone levels decrease in a dose-dependent manner.

Additional Infomation
Degarelix Acetate is the acetate form of a long-acting, synthetic peptide with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonistic properties. Degarelix targets and blocks GnRH receptors located on the surfaces of gonadotroph cells in the anterior pituitary, thereby reducing secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) by pituitary gonadotroph cells and so decreasing testosterone production by interstitial (Leydig) cells in the testes.

Note: Please be aware that the above formulations are for reference only. InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 0.5909 mL 2.9545 mL 5.9091 mL
5 mM 0.1182 mL 0.5909 mL 1.1818 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Instructions to calculate molar mass (molecular weight) of a chemical compound:
  • To calculate molar mass of a chemical compound, please enter the chemical/molecular formula and click the “Calculate’ button.
Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
  • Molecular mass (or molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed in the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
  • Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
