| Targets |
YM511 targets aromatase (CYP19A1), the enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrogens. As a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, it binds to the enzyme's active site and blocks estrogen biosynthesis. It competitively inhibits aromatase with high potency: IC₅₀ of 0.4 nM in rat ovary and 0.12 nM in human placenta microsomes.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, YM511 is a highly specific non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. It competitively inhibits aromatase activities in microsomes from rat ovary (IC₅₀ = 0.4 nM) and human placenta (IC₅₀ = 0.12 nM). It weakly inhibits the synthesis of other steroid hormones and inhibits testosterone-induced breast cancer cell growth with an IC₅₀ of 0.13 nM.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, YM511 decreases plasma estrogen levels into ranges induced by ovariectomy. This demonstrates its potent estrogen-lowering effects in vivo. By reducing estrogen biosynthesis, YM511 is used to study hormone-dependent cancers, particularly estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme inhibition assays for YM511 are performed using microsomal preparations from rat ovary or human placenta expressing aromatase (CYP19). Enzyme activity is measured by monitoring the conversion of androstenedione to estrone using radiolabeled substrates or HPLC. The compound is incubated with the enzyme and substrate, and the IC₅₀ values (0.4 nM for rat, 0.12 nM for human) are calculated from inhibition curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for YM511 are performed using breast cancer cell lines, such as estrogen receptor-positive cells. Cells are treated with the compound in the presence of testosterone (an androgen substrate), and cell growth is measured using proliferation assays. The inhibition of testosterone-induced breast cancer cell growth is quantified, and the IC₅₀ (0.13 nM) is calculated.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for YM511 are conducted in rodent models. A typical protocol involves administration of the compound via oral or intraperitoneal routes, followed by measurement of plasma estrogen levels. The compound's ability to decrease estrogen levels is assessed by comparing treated animals to ovariectomized controls. Efficacy is also evaluated in xenograft models of breast cancer.
|

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*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.
