Biological Activity

Description Flutamide (SCH-13521) is an antiandrogen drug, with its active metablolite binding at androgen receptor with Ki values of 55 nM, and primarily used to treat prostate cancer.
Targets
Androgen Receptor [1]
55 nM(Ki)
In vitro Flutamide (Eulexin) is an antiandrogen drug. Flutamide-OH, the active metabolite of flutamide, directly binds at rat anterior pituitary androgen receptor with Ki values of 55 nM. [1] Flutamide does not affect the proliferation of an androgen-sensitive clone of the mouse mammary carcinoma Shionogi SC-l 15 cells in culture, shows only antiandrogenic effect, but not androgenic effect. [2] Flutamide provides treatment for prostate cancer when used along with leuprolide. [3]
In vivo Flutamide causes a markedly reduction in rat ventral prostate weight from 319 mg to 245 mg. A combination of flutamide and LHRH agonist induces an additive effect with a decrease in prostate weight to 101 mg, and an marked drop in prostatic ODC activity. [4]

Protocol (from reference)

Kinase Assay:[1]
  • Androgen Receptor Assay

    Aliquots of 100 μl cytosol are incubated at 0-4°C for 18 h with 100 μl of the indicated saturating concentration of [3H]T in the presence or absence of increasing concentrations of nonlabeled T, DHT, flutamide (FLU) or flutamide-OH (FLU-OH). At the end of the incubation, free and bound T are separated by the addition of 200 μl dextran-coated charcoal (1 % charcoal, 0.1% dextran T-70, 0.1% gelatin, 1.5 mM EDTA and 50 mM Tris (pH 7.4)) for 15 min before centrifugation at 2300 × g for another 15 min at 0-4°C. Aliquots (350 μl) of the supernatant are transferred to scintillation vials with 10 ml of an aqueous counting solution before counting in a Beckman LS 330 counter.
Cell Assay:[2]
  • Cell lines

    androgen-sensitive Shionogi cell

  • Concentrations

    ~1 μM

  • Incubation Time

    40 days

  • Method

    Effect of flutamide on the growth of an androgen-sensitive clone (SEM-l) of mouse mammary carcinoma Shionogi cells in culture. The cells are incubated up to 40 days in medium (MEM + 2% dextran-coated charcoal extracted fetal calf serum) containing the compounds at a concentration of 1 μM. Media are changed every second day.
Animal Study:[4]
  • Animal Models

    Male rat

  • Dosages

    5 mg twice daily, 0.25 ml

  • Administration

    s.c.
