Abstract

In rat adenohypophysial cells in primary culture, the specific uptake of [3H] testosterone (T) is completely blocked by increasing concentrations of the pure antiandrogen flutamide-OH, the active metabolite of flutamide at an IC50 value of 50 nM while unlabeled T causes a similar inhibition at an IC50 value of 0.5 nM. After 210 min of incubation of 3 nM [3H]T with the anterior pituitary cells, 80% of radioactivity is still present as unchanged T. Direct binding studies show that flutamide-OH and flutamide interact with the rat anterior pituitary androgen receptor at Ki values of 55 and 1275 nM, respectively. In rat ventral prostate (cytosolic and nuclear fractions) and cytosol from human prostatic carcinoma, rat uterus and mouse Shionogi mammary carcinoma, the Ki values ranged from 0.1 to 0.47, 0.6 to 2.7, 62 to 205 and 1450 to 7550 nM for dihydrotestosterone, T, flutamide-OH and flutamide, respectively . Since the ability of flutamide-OH to inhibit the uptake of [3H]T in intact adenohypophysial cells and to compete for binding to the adenohypophysial androgen receptor shows almost identical values at approximately 1% of the potency of T itself, it is most likely that the antiandrogen activity of flutamide-OH can be completely explained by the ability of the pure antiandrogen to displace androgen from their specific receptor in target tissues. In addition, the finding of similar binding characteristics in a series of other tissues suggests that a similar potency of the antiandrogen can be expected in the other androgen-target tissues.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
