Abstract:
:Inhibition of the binding of [3H]ponasterone A ([3H]PoA) by ecdysone agonists including diacylhydrazines such as RH-5849, tebufenozide (RH-5992) and methoxyfenozide (RH-2485) was examined in intact Drosophila Kc cells. The reciprocal logarithm of the concentration at which there is 50% inhibition of [3H]PoA binding, pIC(50) (M), was determined as the binding activity for all compounds from each concentration-response curve. The order of the activity was PoA>20-hydroxyecdysone>cyasterone>inokosterone>or=makisterone A>methoxyfenozide>or=tebufenozide>ecdysone>RH-5849. The ranking of steroidal ecdysone analogs is consistent with that obtained against Spodoptera Sf-9 cells. Furthermore, in terms of pIC(50), all binding activity for ecdysone analogs, except ecdysone, estimated in the Kc cell line system was significantly higher than that for the Sf-9 cell line system. However, the activity of ecdysone was comparable between Kc and Sf-9 cells. The activity of diacylhydrazine analogs against Kc cells was significantly low compared with that against Sf-9 cells. The potency of methoxyfenozide was 1/200 that of PoA, which showed the highest activity in the Kc cell line system among all compounds tested. The activity of tebufenozide analogs having an n-pentyl or n-hexyl group instead of a 4-ethylphenyl group was similar to that of RH-5849.
