Cumulative and Antagonistic Effects of a Mixture of the Antiandrogens Vinclozolin and Iprodione in the Pubertal Male Rat
TOXICOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 111(1), 179–188.
author keywords: iprodione; vinclozolin; mixture; puberty; testosterone; androgen receptor; endocrine disruption

TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that iprodione binds to the human androgen receptor, reduces androgen-dependent gene expression, and reduces androgens-sensitive tissue weights in castrated male rats (Hershberger assay).

Diverse mechanisms of anti-androgen action: impact on male rat reproductive tract development
Wilson, V. S., Blystone, C. R., Hotchkiss, A. K., Rider, C. V., & Gray, L. E., Jr. (2008, April). INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ANDROLOGY, Vol. 31, pp. 178–185.
author keywords: androgen receptor; anti-androgen; linuron; phthalate; prochloraz; reproductive development; vinclozolin
MeSH headings : Androgen Antagonists / pharmacology; Animals; Genitalia, Male / drug effects; Genitalia, Male / embryology; Male; Rats
TL;DR:
As more and more molecular studies with anti-androgenic compounds are conducted, the number of mechanisms by which compounds can affect the androgen signalling pathway is likely to increase.

High throughput adjustable 96-well plate assay for androgen receptor binding: A practical approach for EDC screening using the chimpanzee AR
TOXICOLOGY LETTERS, 181(2), 126–131.
author keywords: Baculovirus; Screening; Androgen; Receptor; Chimpanzee
MeSH headings : Animals; Binding, Competitive; Cell Line; Endocrine Disruptors / metabolism; Guanidine / chemistry; Pan troglodytes; Rats; Receptors, Androgen / genetics; Receptors, Androgen / metabolism; Recombinant Proteins / metabolism; Spodoptera
TL;DR:
A highly modified 96-well plate assay which employs a baculovirus expressed recombinant primate androgen receptor which is publically available and exploits the unique ability of some mammalian androgen receptors to remain biologically active after guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl) solubilization.

Iprodione delays male rat pubertal development, reduces serum testosterone levels, and decreases ex vivo testicular testosterone production
TOXICOLOGY LETTERS, 174(1-3), 74–81.
author keywords: iprodione; steroidogenesis; puberty; testosterone; endocrine disruption
MeSH headings : Aminoimidazole Carboxamide / analogs & derivatives; Aminoimidazole Carboxamide / toxicity; Animals; Cell Line; Endocrine Disruptors / toxicity; Epididymis / drug effects; Epididymis / growth & development; Fungicides, Industrial / toxicity; Humans; Hydantoins / toxicity; Male; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Receptors, Androgen / metabolism; Seminal Vesicles / drug effects; Seminal Vesicles / growth & development; Sexual Maturation / drug effects; Testis / drug effects; Testis / metabolism; Testosterone / blood; Testosterone / metabolism
TL;DR:
Evidence is provided that IPRO differs from the dicarboximides procymidone and vinclozolin in that the effects on male rat pubertal development result from an inhibition of steroidogenesis and not AR antagonism.

Prochloraz inhibits testosterone production at dosages below those that affect androgen-dependent organ weights or the onset of puberty in the male Sprague Dawley rat
TOXICOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 97(1), 65–74.
author keywords: prochloraz; testosterone; antiandrogen; puberty; Hershberger; steroidgenesis
MeSH headings : 17-alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone / blood; Androgen Antagonists / toxicity; Androgen Receptor Antagonists; Androgens / metabolism; Animals; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Enzyme Inhibitors / toxicity; Fungicides, Industrial / toxicity; Genitalia, Male / drug effects; Genitalia, Male / enzymology; Genitalia, Male / growth & development; Genitalia, Male / metabolism; Imidazoles / toxicity; Male; No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level; Orchiectomy; Organ Size / drug effects; Progesterone / blood; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Receptors, Androgen / metabolism; Sexual Development / drug effects; Steroid 17-alpha-Hydroxylase / antagonists & inhibitors; Steroid 17-alpha-Hydroxylase / metabolism; Testosterone / blood; Testosterone / metabolism; Testosterone Propionate / pharmacology; Time Factors; Toxicity Tests / methods
TL;DR:
The fact that hormone levels were affected at dosage eightfold below that which delayed the onset of puberty suggests that rather large reductions in serum testosterone may be required to delay puberty and consistently reduce androgen-dependent tissue weights.

TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that PCZ lowers testicular testosterone synthesis by inhibiting CYP17 activity which likely contributes to the induced malformations in androgen-dependent tissues of male offspring.
