Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Cetrorelix is is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist that is marketed primarily under the brand name Cetrotide. A synthetic decapeptide, it is used is used in assisted reproduction to inhibit premature luteinizing hormone surges. The drug works by blocking the action of GnRH upon the pituitary, thus rapidly suppressing the production and action of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

More Info
In addition, cetrorelix can be used to treat hormone-sensitive cancers of the prostate[citation needed] and breast (in pre-/perimenopausal women)[citation needed] and some benign gynaecological disorders (endometriosis, uterine fibroids and endometrial thinning).[citation needed] It is administered as either multiple 0.25 mg daily subcutaneous injections or as a single-dose 3 mg subcutaneous injection. The duration of the 3 mg single dose is four days; if human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is not administered within four days, a daily 0.25 mg dose is started and continued until hCG is administered.
Product Data
Biological target:
Cetrorelix Acetate (SB-75 acetate) is a potent gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 1.21 nM.
In vitro activity:
To investigate the effect of LHRH-I antagonist on myeloma cell growth, Cetrorelix was used to treat 8 MM cells lines, including the RPMI 8226–derived ATO- or BZM-resistant cells, and KAS-6/1–derived, lenalidomide-resistant myeloma cells generated in our laboratories. Cetrorelix treatment reduced cell growth after 48 hours in all cell lines. At the concentration of 1 to 2 μmol/L (a concentration comparable with the previous studies; ref. 16), a 20% to 50% decrease of cell growth as compared with the vehicle was seen and a maximal response was reached at 4 μmol/L (Fig. 2A). Importantly, although RPMI 8226-ATOR cells, RPMI 8226-BZMR, and KAS-6/R10R cells show resistance to ATO, BZM, and lenalidomide, respectively (Fig. 2A inset), they remained sensitive to Cetrorelix treatment. The growth inhibition was further confirmed by colony formation assays (Fig. 2B), showing that Cetrorelix (1 μmol/L) reduced colony-forming ability of the two MM cell lines tested.

In vivo activity:
In mice, ovarian stimulation via hormone administration is an effective method for obtaining many ova simultaneously, but its effect is reduced by the influence of aging. In this study, it’s demonstrate that this problem can be improved by administering the gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist Cetrorelix prior to ovarian stimulation. Before 12-month-old female mice were injected with 5 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin and 5 IU human chorionic gonadotropin, we administered 5 µg/kg Cetrorelix for 7 consecutive days (7 times) or 3 times once every 3 days. As a result, 8.7 ± 1.9 (mean ± SEM, n=10) and 9.8 ± 1.3 (n=10) oocytes were obtained, respectively, as opposed to 4.7 ± 1.2 oocytes (n=9) in the case of no administration. Collagen staining of ovarian tissue showed that Cetrorelix administration reduced the degree of fibrosis, which improved ovarian function. In addition, equivalent fertilization and fetal development rates between control and Cetrorelix-treated aged mouse-derived oocytes were confirmed by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (Fertilization rate; control: 92.2% vs. 3 times: 96.9%/7 times: 88.5%, Birth rate; control: 56.4% vs. 3 times: 58.3%/7 times: 51.8%), indicating the normality of the obtained oocytes. It is concluded that Cetrorelix improved the effect of superovulation in aged mice without reducing oocyte quality. This procedure will contribute to animal welfare by extending the effective utilization of aged female breeding mice.
