Description of Elagolix

Elagolix is a highly potent, selective, orally-active, short-duration, non-peptide antagonist of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) (IC50=0.94nM) [1]. Elagolix inhibits the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by blocking the endogenous GnRH signaling pathway, thereby reducing the production of estradiol and progesterone[2]. Elagolix has been widely used in various studies to alleviate endometriosis and improve uterine fibroids[3].

In vitro, Elagolix treatment at 100μM for 1h inhibited inositol-1-phosphate accumulation induced by GnRH peptide in HEK293T cells[4]. Treatment with 100nM Elagolix for 48 hours significantly reduced the expression level of COL1A1 and inhibited the MAPK pathway in leiomyoma cells [5].

In vivo, Elagolix treatment via oral administration at a dose of 30mg/kg for 4h reduced the LH levels in castrated male cynomolgus macaques[6].

Protocol of Elagolix

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HEK293T cells

Preparation Method

The cDNA of the wild-type GnRH1R was subcloned into the pcDNA3.1(+) expression vector with the HA signal, and expressed in HEK293T cells. HEK293T cells were seeded in six-well plates at a density of 3×105 cells per well, and the culture medium was Dulbecco modified Eagle medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The cells were pre-treated with Elagolix (100μM) for 1 hour, and then stimulated with the GnRH peptides for 1 hour. The optical density values (OD) were read at 450nm.

Reaction Conditions

100μM; 1h

Applications

Elagolix treatment inhibited inositol-1-phosphate accumulation induced by GnRH peptide in HEK293T cells.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Male cynomolgus macaques

Preparation Method

A total of six male cynomolgus macaques, aged approximately 3.7-6.5 years, underwent complete testicular resection. Drug administration was carried out at least 4 weeks after the surgery. No sedation was administered to the macaques during the administration, but macaques were temporarily confined outside the cage. A single oral administration of 30mg/kg dose of Elagolix was given, blood samples were collected before and 4 hours after administration to determine the concentration of bioactive LH in the serum samples.

Dosage form

30mg/kg for once; p.o.

Applications

Elagolix treatment reduced the LH levels in castrated male cynomolgus macaques.
