Metribolone (R1881), also known as methyltrienolone, is a synthetic androgen ligand that binds strongly to the androgen receptor (AR) with a Ki value of 0.09nM[1]. Metrebolone is an agonist of AR and acts as an antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in aldosterone target cells[2]. Radiolabeled metrebolone can be used as a tracer for AR [3].
In vitro, metrebolone (0.05-5nM) treated vascular endothelial cells and up-regulated the expression of p53, p21 and p27 proteins by activating the AR/cSrc/AKT/p38/ERK/NFκB signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the expression of vascular endothelial cells. proliferation[4]. Metrebolone (100nM) treated Calu-3 cells for 30 hours, which promoted the activation of TMPRSS2 without affecting the total expression of TMPRSS2 and significantly increased the expression level of spike protein [5].
In vivo, when metrebolone (1200 µg/day; s.c) treated EDS/GnRHa/rec-hFSH rats, the relative weight of the prostate and seminal vesicles increased well above 100%, while the relative weight of the testes was maintained at 93% [6]. Metrebolone administered 0.5 or 2.5 mg/kg mixed into feed will increase the body weight of male piglets, but not female piglets [7].
