A series of PROTACs (PROteolysis-TArgeting Chimeras) consisting of bicalutamide analogs and thalidomides were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated as novel androgen receptor (AR) degraders. In particular, we found that PROTAC compound could successfully demonstrate a targeted degradation of AR in AR-positive cancer cells and might be a useful chemical probe for the investigation of AR-dependent cancer cells, as well as a potential therapeutic candidate for prostate cancers.
设计、合成并生物学评估了一系列由比卡鲁胺类似物和沙利度胺组成的PROTAC(蛋白酶靶向嵌合体),作为新型雄激素受体(AR)降解剂。特别地,我们发现PROTAC化合物能够成功地在AR阳性癌细胞中证明AR的靶向降解,并且可能是用于研究AR依赖性癌细胞的有用化学探针,以及前列腺癌的潜在治疗候选物。
