Description

GTx-027 is an orally active and non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). GTx-027 shows androgen receptor (AR) transactivation effects with the EC50 of 1.8 nM. GTx-027 acts selectively increase muscle weight (anabolic) without affecting secondary sexual organs (androgenic). GTx-027 has the protential for the study of breast cancer and stress urinary incontinence (SUI)[1][2].

GTx-027 acts as an AR agonist and activates AR in MDA-MB-231 cells in the AR transactivation assay[2].
GTx-027 (0.1-1000 nM, 6 days) inhibits the proliferation of MDA-MB-231-AR cells in the MDA-MB-231-AR cell proliferation assay[2].
GTx-027 (1 µM; 24 h) inhibits the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231-AR:MSC co-cultured cells in the Platypus migration assay and Transwell migration assay[2].
GTx-027 inhibits the expression of IL6 and MMP13 during the co-culture in the MDA-MB-231:MSC co-culture experiment[2].

In Vivo

GTx-027 (0.5-5 mg/kg; p.o.; for 28 days) results in an increase in pelvic floor muscles in an ovariectomized mouse model[1].
GTx-027 (5-30 mg/kg; oral administration; three times a week; 5 weeks) significantly inhibits tumor growth, reduces tumor weight, shows no obvious toxicity, and increases the body weight of animals in the subcutaneous xenograft tumor model of MDA-MB-231-AR cells in female nude mice[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.03 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.03 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
