Product Description

Drospirenone (MSp; SH-470; ZK-30595; LF-111; Slynd; Yasminelle; Yaz; Nextstellis) is a synthetic progestogen approved for used as an oral contraceptive alone or in combination with other medicaitons (Trade name: Alone: Slynd; With estradiol: Angeliq; With ethinylestradiol: Yasmin, Yasminelle, Yaz, others With estetrol: Nextstellis). It has anti-mineralocorticoid and antiandrogenic properties. Numerous oral contraceptives contain this medication. Following drospirone's binding to the progesterone receptor, a complex is formed that binds to particular sites on DNA and becomes activated. This causes changes in the endometrium and cervical mucus in addition to suppressing LH activity and inhibiting ovulation. This makes it harder for sperm to enter the uterus and implant.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
progestogen Receptor
ln Vitro
The toxic effects of drospirenone (10-150 μM, 24-48 h) on PLHC-1 cells had effective concentration limits (EC50 values) of 105-119 μM for 24 hours and 51-58 μM for 48 hours [1]. Drospirenone (0.01-10 µM, 24 h) inhibits PAI-1 and tPA in HEEC aqueous solutions [2]. Cellular ROS generation in PLHC-1 at -200 µM for 15-120 min [2]. Addition of 100 µM, 72 h) to the mouse model S9 component can damage DNA in MCF-7 cells [3].
ln Vivo
In both male and female mice, oral dospirenone (10–100 mg/kg) for five days damages the DNA in the bone marrow cells [3].
Cell Assay
Cytotoxicity assay [1]
Cell Types: PLHC-1 Cell
Tested Concentrations: 10-150 µM
Incubation Duration: 24 hrs (hours), 48 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Cell viability diminished by 50%, effective concentration after 24 hrs (hours) was 102-119μM, effective after 48 hrs (hours) The concentration is 51-58μM.
Animal Protocol
Animal/Disease Models: Adult female mice [3]
Doses: 10 mg/kg, 100mg/kg
Route of Administration: po (oral gavage)
Experimental Results: DNA damage was induced at dose rates of 10 and 100 mg/kg. Concomitant use with ethinyl estradiol enhances genotoxicity.

*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:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • 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
