Product Description

Testolone (formerly known as RAD140) is a novel, potent, nonsteroidal, orally bioavailable selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that is being researched for the treatment of diseases like breast cancer and muscle atrophy. Both male rats with kainate lesions and cultured neurons show neuroprotective effects from RAD140. RAD140 was found to be equally efficacious as testosterone in mitigating apoptotic insult-induced cell death in cultured hippocampal neurons. It was demonstrated that ERK phosphorylation was elevated and that the MAPK kinase inhibitor U0126 inhibited protection, indicating that RAD140 neuroprotection was mechanistically dependent upon MAPK signaling. Importantly, employing the rat kainate lesion model, RAD140 was also neuroprotective in vivo.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In a concentration-dependent manner, vosilasarm (0-300 nM; pretreated for 1 hour) increases neuron viability against Aβ[2].
In cultured neurons, vosilasarm (100 nM; 1 hour) guards against apoptotic insults. Vosilasarm exhibits protective profiles that considerably guard against Aβ and AAII-induced neuronal death, but not H2O2[2].
In neuronal cultures, votilasarm (100 nM; 15 minutes) significantly raises the levels of phosphorylated ERK, but not total ERK[2].
ln Vivo
Vosilasarm exhibits good bioavailability in rats (F = 27-63%) and monkeys (65-75%), as well as high stability (t1/2 > 2 h) in incubations with rat, monkey, and human microsomes[1].
Vosilasarm (0.03-0.3 mg/kg; for 11 days) increases the weight of the prostate and the levator ani bulbocavernosus muscle in immature castrated rats[1].
The effect of testosterone propionate (TP) at 1 mg/kg on seminal vesicles is actually countered by a high dose of Vosilasarm (10 mg/kg, p.o. ), but TP's effect on the levator ani muscle is enhanced. Vosilasarm can induce antagonism at an effective dose of 0.3–1 mg/kg (p.o.) for 1 mg/kg TP (s.c.). Vosilasarm appears to be a strong and complete androgen agonist on the levator ani, but a weaker, partial antagonist on the seminal vesicle and potentially the prostate in the young castrate male rat model[1].
Vosilasarm is shown to be neuroprotective in vivo in the rat kainate lesion model. Vosilasarm has been shown in studies involving gonadectomized adult male rats to exhibit peripheral tissue-specific androgen action that largely spared prostate, neural efficacy as evidenced by activation of androgenic gene regulation effects, and neuroprotection of hippocampal neurons against cell death caused by systemic administration of the excitotoxin kainate[2].

  • 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)
