Product Description
XY101 is a potent, selective, metabolically stable, oral RORγ inverse agonist with IC50 of 30 nM and Kd of 380 nM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
XY101 targets retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) (Ki = 1.2 nM; GAL4 reporter gene assay IC50 = 2.5 nM) [1]
XY101 shows no significant binding to other nuclear receptors (e.g., RORα, RORβ, AR, ERα) with Ki > 10 μM [1]
ln Vitro
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), AR-V7, and androgen receptor (AR) expression are all efficiently inhibited by XY101 [1].
1. RORγ transcriptional activity inhibition:
- XY101 acts as a potent RORγ inverse agonist, inhibiting RORγ-mediated transcriptional activation in GAL4-RORγ LBD transfected HEK293T cells with an IC50 of 2.5 nM [1]
- It suppresses RORγ binding to its response element (RORE) in electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) at concentrations ≥5 nM [1]
2. Antiproliferative activity in CRPC cells:
- XY101 inhibits proliferation of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner: C4-2B (IC50 = 3.8 nM), 22Rv1 (IC50 = 5.2 nM), DU145 (IC50 = 7.1 nM) (72-hour CCK-8 assay) [1]
- It exhibits minimal effect on normal prostate epithelial cells (PrEC) with IC50 > 10 μM [1]
- Long-term clonogenic assay shows >85% inhibition of colony formation in C4-2B cells at 10 nM XY101 [1]
3. Downregulation of AR signaling pathway:
- XY101 (5 nM, 24 hours) reduces mRNA levels of AR target genes (AR, PSA, TMPRSS2) by 65%, 72%, and 68% in C4-2B cells (RT-qPCR) [1]
- Western blot analysis confirms 70% reduction in AR protein level and 80% reduction in PSA protein level in C4-2B cells treated with 10 nM XY101 for 48 hours [1]
- It inhibits RORγ-AR protein-protein interaction, as demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay [1]
4. Induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest:
- XY101 (10 nM) induces apoptosis in C4-2B cells, with apoptotic rate increasing from 4.5% (control) to 32.6% (48 hours, Annexin V/PI staining) [1]
- Flow cytometry shows G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, with G0/G1 population increasing from 41.2% to 68.3% in C4-2B cells treated with 5 nM XY101 [1]
- It upregulates pro-apoptotic proteins (Bax, cleaved caspase-3/9) and downregulates anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 (Western blot) [1]
ln Vivo
XY101 exhibited substantial anti-tumor effectiveness during therapy, reduced tumor growth, and was well tolerated without significant weight loss [1].
1. Antitumor activity in C4-2B CRPC xenograft model:
- XY101 (10, 30 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 21 days) inhibits C4-2B tumor growth in nude mice by 52% and 75%, respectively, compared to vehicle control [1]
- The 30 mg/kg group shows significant reduction in tumor weight (from 0.82 g to 0.21 g) and no obvious body weight loss [1]
- Tumor tissue analysis reveals 68% reduction in AR mRNA level, 72% reduction in PSA protein level, and 55% reduction in Ki-67 (proliferation marker) positive cells [1]
2. Antitumor activity in 22Rv1 CRPC xenograft model:
- XY101 (30 mg/kg, p.o., once daily for 21 days) reduces 22Rv1 tumor volume by 70% and prolongs median survival from 35 days (control) to 58 days (drug-treated group) [1]
- Immunohistochemical staining of tumor tissues shows increased apoptotic cells (TUNEL assay) and decreased RORγ/AR protein expression [1]
- Serum PSA level (tumor marker) is reduced by 65% in drug-treated mice [1]
Enzyme Assay
1. Fluorescence polarization (FP) binding assay:
- Recombinant human RORγ ligand-binding domain (LBD) is diluted in binding buffer to a final concentration of 20 nM [1]
- Fluorescein-labeled RORγ agonist ligand is added to the RORγ LBD solution at a final concentration of 5 nM [1]
- XY101 is serially diluted (0.1 nM to 100 nM) and mixed with the above mixture, incubated at room temperature for 1 hour [1]
- Fluorescence polarization is measured at excitation 485 nm and emission 535 nm, and Ki value is calculated using a competitive binding model [1]
2. GAL4-RORγ reporter gene assay:
- HEK293T cells are co-transfected with GAL4-RORγ LBD expression plasmid and UAS-luciferase reporter plasmid [1]
- Transfected cells are seeded in 96-well plates and cultured overnight, then treated with XY101 (0.1 nM to 50 nM) plus RORγ agonist (1 μM) for 24 hours [1]
- Luciferase activity is measured using a luminometer, and IC50 is calculated by fitting the dose-response curve of activity inhibition [1]
3. Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA):
- Biotin-labeled RORE (ROR response element) oligonucleotide is synthesized and annealed [1]
- Recombinant RORγ protein (50 ng) is incubated with XY101 (0.5-20 nM) for 30 minutes at room temperature [1]
- Biotin-labeled RORE is added to the mixture and incubated for another 20 minutes, then separated by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [1]
- The gel is transferred to a nylon membrane, and biotin-labeled DNA is detected using streptavidin-HRP conjugate to assess RORγ-RORE binding inhibition [1]
Cell Assay
1. Cell proliferation assay (CCK-8):
- CRPC cell lines (C4-2B, 22Rv1, DU145) and normal PrEC cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 3×10^3 cells per well and cultured overnight [1]
- XY101 is serially diluted (0.1 nM to 20 μM) and added to the cells, incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 72 hours [1]

2. RT-qPCR for AR target genes:
- C4-2B cells are seeded in 6-well plates at 2×10^5 cells per well and treated with XY101 (1, 5, 10 nM) for 24 hours [1]
- Total RNA is extracted, reverse-transcribed into cDNA, and qPCR is performed using specific primers for AR, PSA, TMPRSS2, and GAPDH (internal control) [1]
- Relative mRNA levels are calculated using the 2^(-ΔΔCt) method, and fold changes compared to the control group are reported [1]
3. Apoptosis and cell cycle analysis:
- C4-2B cells are treated with XY101 (5, 10 nM) for 48 hours, harvested, and washed with cold PBS [1]
- Apoptosis assay: Cells are stained with Annexin V-FITC and PI for 15 minutes in the dark, then analyzed by flow cytometry [1]
- Cell cycle assay: Cells are fixed in 70% ethanol at -20°C overnight, stained with PI solution containing RNase A for 30 minutes, and analyzed by flow cytometry [1]
4. Western blot and Co-IP assay:
- XY101-treated C4-2B cells are lysed with RIPA buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors [1]
- For Western blot: Equal amounts of protein are separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes, and probed with antibodies against AR, PSA, Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3/9, and GAPDH [1]
- For Co-IP: Cell lysates are incubated with anti-RORγ antibody overnight, then mixed with protein A/G beads for 4 hours, and the immunoprecipitates are analyzed by Western blot with anti-AR antibody [1]
Animal Protocol

Additional Infomation
XY101 is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable RORγ inverse agonist developed specifically for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) [1]. Its binding mode involves occupying the ligand-binding pocket of RORγ, forming hydrogen bonds with key residues (Tyr502, His479), and engaging in hydrophobic interactions with hydrophobic residues in the pocket [1]. XY101 exerts its antitumor effect by inhibiting the transcriptional activation of RORγ-mediated androgen receptor (AR) target genes, thereby inhibiting CRPC cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis [1]. CRPC is characterized by the persistence of the AR signaling pathway despite androgen deprivation therapy, and XY101 targets this key pathway, providing a potential new therapeutic strategy for CRPC [1].
