Antide (subcutaneously; 1, 3, 6, 10 and 15 mg/kg; once or on 5 consecutive days) can induce a long-term chemical castration in adult male rats and cynomolgus monkeys[1].
| Animal Model: | Cynomolgus monkey and rat[1] |
| Dosage: | 1, 3, 6, 10 and 15 mg/kg |
| Administration: | Subcutaneous, once or on 5 consecutive days |
| Result: | Had a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on serum concentration of LH (only rat) and testosterone and on the weights of the testes, prostates and seminal vesicles.
Achieved long-lasting castration-like effects at concentrations between 6 (less than or equal to 8 weeks) and 15 mg/kg (greater than 8 weeks) in the rat.
Induced a prolonged inhibitory effect only at 15 mg/kg and the duration was only 2-3 weeks in the cynomolgus monkey.
