Product Description

D4-abiraterone is an androgen receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 5.3 nM and an active metabolite of abiraterone Δ4-Abiraterone (D4A), an inhibitor of CYP17A1, an androgen receptor. An authorized anticancer drug, biratterone (previously CB-7598; Zytiga), functions as a selective and irreversible CYP17 inhibitor.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
D4-abiraterone (D4A ) (10 mM) almost totally prevents the conversion of D4-androstenedione (AD) into 5α-androstanedione and other 5α-reduced androgens. Abiraterone (Abi) (IC50=418 and >500 nM, respectively) has a lower affinity for the mutant and wild type androgen receptors (IC50=5.3 nM and 7.9 nM, respectively) than does D4-abiraterone (expressed in LNCaP and IC50=5.3 nM). When it comes to suppressing PSA, TMPRSS2, and FKBP5 expression in LNCAP, LAPC4, and C4-2 cell lines, D4-abiraterone performs a notably better job than Albi. The expression of AR target genes is also dose-dependently inhibited by D4-abiraterone[1].
ln Vivo
D4-abiraterone (D4A) is ten times more effective than abiraterone (Abi) at preventing the conversion of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to D4-androstenedione (AD) by 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3βHSD) in LNCaP and VCaP xenografts. For the purpose of preventing AD accumulation at 48 hours in both LNCaP and VCaP xenografts, 0.1 μM D4-abiraterone is equal to 1 μM Abi. When comparing the D4-abiraterone group to the Abi acetate group, there is a significant delay in progression (P=0.011). When compared to Abi acetate, treatment with D4-abiraterone improves progression-free survival[1].
Enzyme Assay
Enzyme assays are used to determine whether D4-abiraterone (D4A) is an inhibitor of 3βHSD. In summary, 0.5 mL of potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), D4-abiraterone (5 to 20 μM), or ethanol vehicle are prepared along with recombinant human 3βHSD1 or 3βHSD2 (in yeast microsomes, 45 or 2.5 μg protein per incubation, respectively). NAD+ (1 mM) is added after a pre-incubation at 37°C for 1 to 3 min, and the incubation is carried out at 37°C for 20 min. The addition of 1 mL of ethyl acetate:isooctane (1:1) stops the reaction, after which the steroids are extracted into the organic phase and dried. In-line scintillation counting is used to quantify the steroids in the dried extracts, and HPLC is used to resolve the steroids[1].
Cell Assay
The indicated concentrations of D4-abiraterone (D4A) are applied to the cells for 30 minutes after they have been cultured for 48 hours in serum-free medium. The cells are lysed using RIPA buffer after being washed twice with 0.9% NaCl solution and four times with 1×PBS. A multilabel counter is used to detect the protein concentration, which is then used to normalize the intracellular radioactivity measured using a liquid scintillation counter|1].
Animal Protocol
In this study, male NSG mice aged 6 to 8 weeks are employed. Mice with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) are surgically orchiectomized and given a 5 mg sustained-release dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) pellet to be administered over a 90-day period, simulating human adrenal physiology. Two days later, matrigel is subcutaneously injected with 107 VCaP or C4-2 cells. Mice are randomly assigned, without following strict randomization, to treatment groups consisting of either vehicle (n = 9 or 10 mice for VCaP and C4-2, respectively) or D4-abiraterone (n = 10 mice for both cell lines) once tumors reach 300mm3. For up to 15 days, 5 mL per kg intraperitoneal injection of D4-abiraterone (0.5 mmol per kg per day in 0.1 mL 5% benzyl alcohol and 95% safflower oil solution) is given daily. Every day, intraperitoneal injections of 0.1 mL of a 5% benzyl alcohol and 95% safflower oil solution are given to the control groups. Every day, the volume of the tumor is measured, and the time it takes for the tumor to grow by 20% is calculated. When the tumor size doubles over the baseline or on day 15 of treatment, mice are killed[1].

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.
