GnRH receptor (gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor). Opigolix is an orally active, small-molecule, non-peptide GnRH receptor antagonist. GnRH receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that regulate the release of gonadotropins (luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone) from the pituitary gland. By antagonizing the GnRH receptor, Opigolix suppresses gonadotropin release, thereby reducing the production of sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. This mechanism is effective in treating sex-hormone-dependent conditions, including endometriosis, uterine fibroids, prostate cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. Opigolix was under clinical development by Astellas Pharma for the management of these conditions. However, development was discontinued in 2018.

| ln Vitro |
GnRH receptor antagonist Opigolix (compound 726) is utilized in the investigation of illnesses dependent on sex hormones, particularly those connected to GnRH [1].
Opigolix is a GnRH receptor antagonist that suppresses gonadotropin release and reduces sex hormone production. The compound's activity has been characterized in receptor binding assays and functional assays measuring gonadotropin release. Opigolix is an orally active, small-molecule, non-peptide antagonist. The compound was being developed for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and uterine fibroids. In clinical studies, 15 mg Opigolix was approximately equivalent to 400 mg elagolix, enabling direct cross-compound pharmacodynamic comparisons. The compound is a fluorinated small molecule suitable as a reference standard for LC-MS/MS method development and metabolic stability profiling. |
| ln Vivo |
Opigolix has been evaluated in vivo in clinical trials. The compound is an orally active GnRH receptor antagonist that was under clinical development by Astellas Pharma. It was being investigated for the management of sex-hormone-dependent conditions, primarily endometriosis-associated pain and rheumatoid arthritis. In clinical studies, 15 mg Opigolix was approximately equivalent to 400 mg elagolix in terms of pharmacodynamic effects. The compound completed Phase II clinical trials before development was discontinued globally in 2018. Detailed clinical trial data are available from published studies. Opigolix is for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.

| Enzyme Assay |
GnRH receptor binding assays are performed using membranes prepared from cells expressing recombinant GnRH receptors. Radioligand binding studies use [¹²⁵I]- or [³H]-labeled GnRH analogs as labeled ligands. Membrane preparations are incubated with varying concentrations of Opigolix and a fixed concentration of radioligand in binding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl₂, 0.1% BSA) for 60-120 minutes at room temperature. Non-specific binding is determined using excess unlabeled GnRH or a GnRH antagonist. Bound radioactivity is measured by scintillation or gamma counting after filtration. IC50 and Ki values are calculated by non-linear regression. Functional assays measure inhibition of gonadotropin release from pituitary cells or cell lines.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular GnRH receptor antagonism is evaluated in cell lines expressing GnRH receptors (e.g., αT3-1 or LβT2 cells) or in primary pituitary cells. Cells are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO₂ and treated with Opigolix at various concentrations. GnRH-induced gonadotropin (LH and FSH) release is measured by ELISA or RIA. The compound's antagonist activity is assessed by its ability to inhibit GnRH-induced gonadotropin release. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or LDH assays. Each experiment includes known GnRH antagonists as positive controls and vehicle controls.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo efficacy of Opigolix was evaluated in clinical trials for endometriosis-associated pain and other sex-hormone-dependent conditions. The compound was administered orally at doses determined by clinical study protocols. In clinical studies, 15 mg Opigolix was approximately equivalent to 400 mg elagolix in terms of pharmacodynamic effects. The compound completed Phase II clinical trials before development was discontinued globally in 2018. Endpoints included reduction in endometriosis-associated pain, changes in sex hormone levels, and safety assessments. Sample sizes in clinical trials typically range from 100-300 patients per group.
