Product Description

Dutasteride (also known as GI198745, GG-745; trade names: Avodart, Avidart) is a potent dual 5-α reductase inhibitor that inhibits conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Dutasteride inhibited conversion of 3H-testosterone to 3H-DHT by more than 99% in LNCaP cells.It can also strongly reduces growth, proliferation, and viability of LNCaP cells as well. Dutasteride increased the enzymatic activities of caspase 7 and caspase 8 dose-dependently at 48 hours, providing functional significance and confirming that the apoptotic and survival pathways are being activated by dutasteride treatment in LNCaP cells.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
As expected, dutasteride prevents the conversion of 3H-T to 3H-DHT and T-induced PSA production and proliferation. Nevertheless, the medication also prevented cell division and PSA secretion triggered by DHT (IC50 = 1 μM)[1]. Dutasteride has an IC50 of about 1.5 μM and competes with LNCaP cell AR binding. Elevated levels of dutasteride (10-50 μM) in steroid-free media led to increased cell death, potentially through apoptosis, but not finasteride[1]. In both of the studied cell lines for androgen-responsive (LNCaP) and androgen-unresponsive (DU145) human prostate cancer (PCa), dutasteride decreases cell viability and proliferation [2].
ln Vivo
With a terminal half-life of almost 240 hours, GG745 considerably reduced DHT levels in single doses more than 10 mg, compared to finasteride single doses of 5 mg[3]. Using doubled results to account for dutasteride treatment, there was an 8.3% median increase in PSA in men without prostate cancer who were treated with a placebo at month 24, compared to -59.5% in those who got the medication[4]. Toxicity: The dynamics of steroid hormones and male fertility may be impacted by dutasteride. In order to ascertain the impact of dutasteride (10, 32, and 100 μg/L) on fish reproduction, a 21-day reproduction research was carried out. Fish exposed to dutasteride saw a considerable reduction in fecundity and experienced various effects on their reproductive endocrine systems, affecting both male and female fish[5].

*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.

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
