ARD-69 is a PROTAC degrader based on the E3 ubiquitin ligase VHL and targeting the androgen receptor, which can induce androgen receptor (AR) protein degradation in AR-positive prostate cancer cells. ARD-69 inhibits AR-regulated gene expression, binds to the AR ligand binding domain at one end and binds to VHL at the other end, prompting AR to be recruited to the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, triggering proteasome degradation, thereby inhibiting AR signaling pathways and downstream gene expression (such as PSA, TMPRSS2). ARD-69 can be used to study of castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
ARD-69 is composed of a target protein ligand (pink part) AR antagonist 14 (HY-172624), a PROTAC linker (black part) tert-Butyl 4-ethynyl-[1,4'-bipiperidine]-1'-carboxylate (HY-W442074), and a VHL-type E3 ubiquitinase ligand (blue part) VH 101, acid (HY-47070); among them, the VHL ligand and the linker can form a conjugate VH 101-amide-piperidine-Pip-alkyne (HY-172625).

In Vitro

ARD-69 (0.01-10 μM; 6-24 h) induces degradation of androgen receptor (AR) in LNCaP, VCaP and 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with DC50 values ??of 0.86 nM, 0.76 nM and 10.4 nM, respectively, and the highest degradation rate is >95%[1].
ARD-69 (0.01-1000 nM; 7 d) significantly inhibits the proliferation of LNCaP, VCaP and 22Rv1 cells, with IC50 values ??of 0.25 nM, 0.34 nM and 183 nM, respectively[1].

Cell Viability Assay[1]

Cell Line: LNCaP, VCaP, 22Rv1 prostate cancer cells
Concentration: 0.01-1000 nM
Incubation Time: 7 days
Result: Inhibited cell growth with IC50s of 0.25 nM (LNCaP), 0.34 nM (VCaP), and 183 nM (22Rv1), significantly more effective (>100-fold) than AR antagonists like enzalutamide. qPCR analysis revealed dose-dependent suppression of AR-regulated genes (PSA, TMPRSS2, FKBP5) by >50% at 10 nM, while WB confirmed reduced AR protein levels correlating with growth inhibition.
In Vivo

ARD-69 (50 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) significantly reduces AR and PSA protein levels in tumor tissues in a VCaP xenograft tumor model in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice, with the effect lasting for at least 48 hours[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Female severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice with VCaP xenograft tumors[1]
Dosage: 50 mg/kg, dissolved in an appropriate solvent (e.g., DMSO/saline formulation)
Administration: Intraperitoneal (IP) injection, single dose
Result: Significantly reduced androgen receptor (AR) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) protein levels in tumor tissues, with effects detectable as early as 3 hours post-treatment and persisting for at least 48 hours.
Dose-dependently decreased in AR and PSA expression relative to the loading control GAPDH, indicating sustained pharmacodynamic activity in vivo.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (1.11 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (12.5 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
