Androgen Receptor

Androgen receptor (AR) is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding of either of the androgenic hormones testosterone or dihydrotestosterone in the cytoplasm and then translocating into the nucleus. Upon binding the hormone ligand, the receptor dissociates from accessory proteins, translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes, and then stimulates transcription of androgen responsive genes. The androgen receptor is most closely related to the progesterone receptor, and progestins in higher dosages can block the androgen receptor. The main function of the androgen receptor is as a DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates gene expression. Androgen regulated genes are critical for the development and maintenance of the male sexual phenotype. Mutations in this gene are also associated with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS).

  • HY-169385
    ATC-324
    Degrader
    ATC-324 is an bivalent AR (Androgen Receptor) degrader based on the protein degradation technology platform AUTOphagy-TArgeting Chimera (AUTOTAC). ATC-324 induces the formation of AR/p62 complex, leading to autophagy-lysosomal degradation of AR. ATC-324 can reduce nuclear AR levels and downregulate target gene expression of AR and AR-v7, and also has a degradation effect on common AR mutants in PCa. ATC-324 is composed of target-binding ligand (TBL) Enzalutamide (HY-70002) and p62/SQSTM1 autophagy-targeting ligand (ATL) YT 6-2 analog-1 (HY-169386), connected by Boc-NH-PEG4-CH2CH2NH2 (HY-W008352). Among them, the active control of the target protein ligand is Enzalutamide carboxylic acid (HY-70002B), and the conjugate composed of the autophagy-targeting ligand and the linker is YT 6-2-PEG3-C2-NH2 (HY-169387).
