In vitro competitive radioligand binding assay |
The AR binding affinity of Ostarine is determined using an in vitro competitive radioligand binding assay with [3H]mibolerone (MIB). Briefly, increasing concentrations (0.01-5000 nM) of Ostarine are incubated with rat cytosol, a saturating concentration of [3H]-MIB (1 nM), and 1000 nM triamcinolone acetonide to prevent interaction of MIB with progesterone receptors at 4 °C for 18 hours. At the end of incubation, free and bound [3H]-MIB are separated using the hydroxyapatite method. IC50 value is determined by computer-fitting the data for each ligand by nonlinear regression analysis. |
