biological activity | Brilanestrant (GDC-0810, ARN-81) is an effective ER-α binding agent (ER-α, IC50 = 6.1 nM; ER-β, IC50 = 8.8 nM), is its transcription antagonist, not activation. It has an effective inhibitory effect on the degradation of ER-α and MCF-7 cell activity. EC50 and IC50 are 0.7 nM and 2.5 nM respectively. Compared with other nuclear hormone receptors, it has good selectivity. |

In vitro study | In the total experimental group of cell-free radioligand competition for binding, the GDC-0810 binds ERα and ERβ with low nanomolar affinity. GDC-0810 had a weak inhibitory effect on CYP1A2, CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 (IC50>20 μM) and a moderate inhibitory effect on CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, with IC50 of 2.2 and 3.3 μM, respectively. It has effective inhibitory effect on CYP2C8 with IC50 less than 0.1 μM. The weak effect of GDC-0810 on other nuclear hormone receptors indicates that its selectivity is good. In the transcriptional report analysis of mineralocorticoid, progesterone-A and glucocorticoid receptors, GDC-0810 have little activity on them, and IC50 is greater than 1 μM. In the binding experiment, GDC-0810 had little activity on androgen receptor and glucocorticoid receptor, IC50 was greater than 4 μM and 0.99 μM respectively. The reduction (consumption) of ERα mediated by GDC-0810 depends on 26S proteasome. GDC-0810 can antagonize ERα ligand binding region mutants in vivo and in vitro. in the cell-free E2 competitive binding experiment, it is found that GDC-0810 can effectively replace E2 from ligand binding region, although IC50 to mutant will slightly increase (WT: 2.6 nM vs. ER.Y537S: 5.5 nM and ER.D538G: 5.4 nM). GDC-0810 can compete with the co-activating molecule of PGC1α to dissociate it from the mutant ligand binding domain, indicating that GDC-0810 can change the conformational change of mutant ER from 'active' to 'inactive' conformation, although the biochemical activity is reduced by 5-7 times compared with that of wild type ER. |
in vivo study | pharmacokinetic study of GDC-0810 found that GDC-0810 belongs to low clearance molecules in various species and has good bioavailability, ranging from 40% to 60%. As a lipophilic carboxylic acid, it can highly bind to plasma proteins (>99.5%) and has a low to medium distribution volume (Vss = 0.2 − 2.0 L/kg). GDC-0810 has good bioavailability among various species and plays a strong and effective active role in breast cancer transplanted tumor models sensitive to tamoxifen and tamoxifen resistance. In the in vivo and in vitro uterine model, GDC-0810 has mild estrogenic activity. |
