18639541 Sanderson T, Renaud M, Scholten D, Nijmeijer S, van den Berg M, Cowell S, Guns E, Nelson C, Mutarapat T, Ruchirawat S: Effects of lactone derivatives on aromatase (CYP19) activity in H295R human adrenocortical and (anti) androgenicity in transfected LNCaP human prostate cancer cells. Eur J Pharmacol. 2008 Sep 28;593(1-3):92-8. Epub 2008 Jun 27.


The androgen receptor is implicated in mediating hormone-dependent prostate tumor growth, and androgen antagonists are effective in the treatment of these cancers.

Our data show that TBT produced concentration-specific decrease of estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha), vitellogenin (Vtg), zona radiata protein (Zr-protein) and increase of estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) and androgen receptor-beta (ARbeta) in the hormonal pathway.
