Comparison of the effect of flutamide, 2-hydroxyflutamide, and bicalutamide exposure on intracellular ATP content of HepG2 cells (2 h) in glucose and galactose medium
Compound | EC50ATP (μM) |
EC50ATPglu/EC50ATPgal (P-value) | |
---|---|---|---|
Glucose | Galactose | ||
Flutamide | 255 | 43.9 | 5.82 (0.03) |
2-hydroxyflutamide | 267 | 48.5 | 5.51 (0.01) |
Bicalutamide | 148 | 103 | 1.44 (0.22) |
EC50ATP refers to the concentration of the compound required to reduce cellular ATP content by 50%. Comparison of this value in cells treated in glucose or galactose medium identifies a mitochondrial liability if EC50ATPglu/EC50ATPgal ≥ 2. P-value indicates the significance of EC50ATPglu compared with EC50ATPgal.
