Relugolix (TAK-385)?is a potent, orally active, nonpeptidic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. Relugolix possesses high affinity and potent antagonistic activity for human receptor (binding IC50=0.33 nM) and monkey receptor (IC50=0.32 nM) compared with TAK-013 (HY-100209). Relugolix is used for the study of sex-hormone-dependent diseases, such as including endometriosis, uterine fibroids and prostate cancer et al.

In Vitro

Relugolix exhibits strong binding affinity (IC50=0.32 nM) for the monkey receptor comparable to that for the human receptor (IC50=0.33 nM) while displaying a 30000-fold decrease for the rat receptor (IC50=9800 nM). The antagonistic in vitro activity of TAK-385 with respect to the human receptor (IC90=18 nM) exceeded that for the monkey receptor (IC90=1700 nM) by 95-fold in the presence of 40% serum[1].

In Vivo

Relugolix (oral administration; 1-3 mg/kg; single dose for pharmacokinetic study) exhibits a good pharmacokinetic profile and obvious suppressive effects of circulating LH levels in monkeys at a dose of 1 mg/kg. The pharmacokinetic profile exhibits with 16.0 ng/mL, 2.7 h, and 90.1 ng for Cmax, Tmax, and AUCo, respectively in male cynomolgus monkeys[1].
Relugolix (oral administration; 3, 10 or 30 mg/kg; twice daily; 4 weeks) significantly decreases the testis weight, and reduces the ventral prostate weight at 3 mg/kg and decreases it to castrate levels at 10 mg/kg in male hGNRHR-knock-in mice[2].
Relugolix (oral administration; 30, 100 or 200 mg/kg; twice daily; 4 weeks) induces constant diestrous phases in all mice within the first week at 100 mg/kg, and significantly decreases the weights of ovaries and uteri at this dose after 4 weeks in female hGNRHR-knock-in mice[2].

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: ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (1.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (8.3 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% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (1.33 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.83 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (8.3 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

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.
