Biochem/physiol Actions

Degarelix acetate (FE200486) is a gonadotropin-/luteinizing hormone-/follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH, LHRH, FSH-RH) receptor antagonist that inhibits plasma testosterone for more than 40 days following a single s.c. dosage of 2 mg/kg in rats and monkeys, showing longer in vivo duration than abarelix, ganirelix, cetrorelix, azaline B or D-Trp6-LHRH, and exhibiting only weak histamine-releasing potency in isolated rat mast cells. Bi-weekly s.c. dosing (2 mg/kg) is efficacious in suppressing the growth of human prostate cancer PAC120 xenograft-derived tumors in mice in vivo.

A series of antagonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) of the general formula Ac-D2Nal-D4Cpa-D3Pal-Ser-4Aph/4Amf(P)-D4Aph/D4Amf(Q)-Leu-ILys-Pro-DAla-NH2 was synthesized, characterized, and screened for duration of inhibition of luteinizing hormone release in a castrated male rat assay. Selected analogues were tested in a reporter gene

British journal of clinical pharmacology, 70(4), 580-587 (2010-09-16)
Early studies on gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists pointed out histamine-mediated anaphylactic reactions as a potential adverse effect of these drug candidates. In this study we have compared the histamine-releasing potential of four approved and marketed antagonists, degarelix, cetrorelix, abarelix and

The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 301(1), 95-102 (2002-03-22)
We describe the pharmacological profile in rats and monkeys of degarelix (FE200486), a member of a new class of long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. At single subcutaneous injections of 0.3 to 10 microg/kg in rats, degarelix produced a dose-dependent suppression
