| | Antagonist Activity for AR |
| Description: | Antagonist activity for AR was evaluated according to the following method. COS-7 cells (ATCC) were transfected with pMMTV-luc vector (reporter plasmid having, as an androgen response element, murine mouse mammary virus long terminal repeat) and pEX-hAR vector (human androgen receptor expression vector: which expresses human AR gene under control of CMV promoter) by using Nucleofector (registered trademark) Kit R (Lonza) as a transfection reagent and Amaxa (Lonza). The COS-7 cells obtained after transfection were seeded in a clear bottom 96 well microplate (BD) at 1.5×104/well with phenol red free RPMI1640 containing 10% charcoal-treated fetal bovine serum (hereinbelow, DCC-FBS) (hereinbelow, the medium is referred to as an evaluation medium), and then cultured overnight. The culture was added with the evaluation medium containing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (final concentration of DHT: 1 nmol/L) or the evaluation medium containing the compound of Examples or the compound of Comparative Examples (final concentration of the compound of Examples or the compound of Comparative Examples: 5, 14, 41, 123, 370, 1111, 3333, or 10000 nmol/L), followed by culture for 24 hours. Then, the transcription activity value was measured. The transcription activity was measured by using Bright-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega). From the measured transcription activity, 50% transcription activity inhibition concentration (IC50 value) was calculated by logistic regression when the transcription activity value obtained by using 1 nmol/L DHT was 100% and the transcription activity value obtained by using the evaluation medium only was 0%. |
