| | AR Antagonism |
| Description: | Antagonism of test compounds for AR was measured by reporter gene assay in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells stably transfected with an expression vector encoding full-length human AR and androgen responsive luciferase reporter gene construct (hAR/HEK293 cells). To determine antagonism for hAR, the cells were treated simultaneously with increasing concentrations of the test compound and submaximal concentration of testosterone (usually 0.45 nM). The final DMSO concentration was 1%. All test compounds were studied in triplicates. The cells were incubated for 24 before measurement of luciferase activity using Luciferase Assay System (Promega Corporation).Agonism of test compounds in AR overexpressing cells was measured by reporter gene assay in HEK293 cells stably transfected with an expression vector encoding full-length human AR and androgen responsive luciferase reporter gene construct. A clone expressing high levels of androgen receptor (5 times more than AR levels in AR-HEK293 cells) was selected to study agonism in AR overexpressing cells. To determine agonism, the cells were treated with increasing concentrations of the test compound. The final DMSO concentration was 1%. The test compounds were studied in triplicates and luciferase activity was determined as described above. |
