Bioactivity | Degarelix is a competitive and reversible gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR/LHRHR) antagonist. Degarelix can be used for prostate cancer research[1]. | ||||||
Invitro | Degarelix shows only very weak histamine-releasing properties and the lowest capacity for histamine release among the antagonists of LHRH, including Cetrorelix (HY-P0009), Abarelix (HY-13534), and Ganirelix (HY-P1628)[1].Degarelix (1 nM-10 μM, 0-72 h) reduces cell viability in all prostate cell lines (WPE1-NA22, WPMY-1, BPH-1, VCaP cells), with the exception of the PC-3 cells[2].Degarelix (10 μM, 0-72 h) exerts a direct effect on prostate cell growth through apoptosis[2].
