TABLE 1

Receptor affinity of peptidic agonists (GnRH and triptorelin), peptidic antagonist (ganirelix), and nonpeptidic antagonists (TAK-013 and FD-1) Ki represents displacement of specific 125I-triptorelin binding from human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors stably expressed in CHO cell membranes. Values are means (± S.E.M.) of at least three separate assays performed in duplicate.


Compound

Ki
nM
GnRHa 1.2 ± 0.1
Triptorelin 0.42 ± 0.07
Ganirelix 3.8 ± 0.4
TAK-013 1.9 ± 0.7
FD-1
4.9 ± 1
  • a According to computer analysis of the binding curve of GnRH, a two-site competition model of higher (H) and lower (L) affinity was statistically preferred with KH = 0.54 ± 0.004 nM, KL = 21 ± 10 nM, and RH = 69 ± 3%.
