Description:

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

Silodosin, also known as KMD-3213, is an α1-adrenoceptor antagonist approved for the symptomatic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It acts as an α1-adrenoceptor antagonist with high uroselectivity (selectivity for the prostate). Since silodosin has high affinity for the α1A adrenergic receptor, it causes practically no orthostatic hypotension (in contrast to other α1 blockers).

Product Data
Biological target:
Silodosin is a selective α1A adrenoceptor antagonist (Ki = 0.036 nM) that displays >55 fold selectivity for α1A over α1B and α1D. Silodosin inhibits norepinephrine-induced [Ca2+]I increase in α1A expressing CHO cells (IC50 = 0.32 nM) and inhibits norepinephrine-induced contraction of isolated human prostate tissue.
In vitro activity:
Silodosin inactivates ELK1 in prostate cancer cells and not only inhibits their growth, but also enhances the cytotoxic activity of gemcitabine. Silodosin treatment reduced ELK1 expression/activity, cell viability in AR-positive cells, and migration in both AR-positive and AR-negative cells. Silodosin increased sensitivity to gemcitabine, but not to cisplatin or docetaxel, in AR-negative cells. Reference: Prostate. 2016 Jun;76(8):744-56. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26864615/
In vivo activity:
Silodosin improves functional consequences of lower urinary tract obstruction secondary to benign prostate hypertrophy. Chronic silodosin treatment relieved storage symptoms in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) supplemented with testosterone and decreased the frequency of non-voiding detrusor contractions during the filling phase. Silodosin treated rats displayed a significant increase in prostate and bladder weights and a 15% increase in the detrusor wall area compared to the control rats.
