Description

In Vitro

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].

In Vivo

Apalutamide (ARN-509) exhibits low systemic clearance, high oral bioavailability and long plasma half-life in both mouse and dog, supporting once-daily oral dosing. Consistent with its long terminal-half-life, Apalutamide steady-state plasma-levels increases in repeat-dose studies, resulting in high C24hr levels and low peak:trough ratios (ratio:2.5). Castrate male mice bearing LNCaP/AR xenograft tumors are treated with either Apalutamide at doses of 1, 10 or 30 mg/kg/day. Thirteen of 20 Apalutamide (30 mg/kg/day)-treated animals exhibit >50% reduction in tumor-volume at day 28 versus 3 of 19 MDV3100 (30 mg/kg/day)-treated mice[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.36 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (4.36 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Cell Assay
[1]

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].

Animal Administration
[1]

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.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
