Biological activities

Naftopidil is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor antagonist. The IC50 of naftopidil is 235 and 108 nM against α1-adrenoceptor and 5-HT1A receptor, respectively.[1] Naftopidil inhibits growths of androgen-sensitive and -insensitive human prostate cancer cell lines. Naftopidil prevents the growth of androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells and androgen-insensitive PC-3 cells with IC50 of 22.2 and 33.2 µM, respectively. In addition, naftopidil significantly increases expressions of p27kip1 and p21cip1 in PC-3 cells. In PC-3 cells, naftopidil induces p21cip1 but not p27kip1.[2] Naftopidil suppresses platelet aggregation with a Ki and a pIC50 of 1.1 µM and 5.09, respectively, with induction of aggregation 1 µM 5-HT. After oral administration of naftopidil, 5-HT-induced aggregation is significantly inhibited by 36%. Four hours after naftopidil administration, 5-HT uptake velocity is reduced by 33%.[3] Naftopidil reduces the growth of tumor in E9 cells (an androgen low-sensitive LNCaP subline). Naftopidil reveals antiproliferative effects on PCa cells regardless of androgen sensitivity and α1-AR subtype expression.[4] Intrathecal injection of naftopidil (3-30 µg) decreases the amplitude of bladder contraction.[5] Naftopidil significantly reduces Ki-67 index and increases the expression of p21cip1 in PC-3 tumors.[4]

Protocols

In vivo: Naftopidil is dissolved in 0.1 M phosphate solution.[5]
