ZNU-IMB-Z15
Based on 1 Customer Validation
ZNU-IMB-Z15 is a bifunctional, selective androgen receptor (AR) antagonist and degrader. ZNU-IMB-Z15 directly binds to the ligand-binding domain (LBD) and transactivation function 1 (AF1) of AR, with an IC50 of 63.3 nM for competitive binding to AR LBD and a KD of 0.93 μM for AR AF1. ZNU-IMB-Z15 inhibits AR transcriptional activity and promotes the degradation of AR and ARV7 via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. ZNU-IMB-Z15 can be used for the research of castration-resistant prostate cancer.

In Vitro
ZNU-IMB-Z15 (compound Z15) (5 nM DHT; 24 h) inhibits DHT-induced AR transcriptional activity in wt-AR-transfected PC-3 cells and LNCaP cells in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 of approximately 0.22 μM for AR transcriptional inhibition in LNCaP cells. Meanwhile, ZNU-IMB-Z15 inhibits the transcriptional activity of AR-overexpressing VCaP cells, AR/ARV7-positive 22Rv1 cells, as well as AR T877A and AR F876L mutants[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 exhibits an IC50 of 0.41 μM for inhibiting AR transcriptional activity, while its IC50 values for GR and ER are both greater than 20 μM, and the IC50 for PR is 9.29 μM, demonstrating selectivity for AR[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 binds directly to AR LBD, with an IC50 of 63.3 nM in the [3H]DHT competitive binding assay and a KD of 21.0 μM in the BLI assay; ZNU-IMB-Z15 also binds directly to AR AF1, with a KD of 0.93 μM measured by SPR[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 (72 h) inhibits the proliferation of AR-positive CRPC cells, with IC50 values of 1.37 μM and 3.63 μM in VCaP and 22Rv1 cells, respectively, while exerts weak inhibitory effects on the proliferation of AR-negative PC-3 and DU145 cells[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 (1 μM; 12-14 days) significantly reduces colony formation of 22Rv1 cells, but does not affect colony formation of AR-negative PC-3 cells[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 (7 days) inhibits the proliferation of organoids derived from prostate cancer tissues[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 (0.2-5 μM; 24 h) reduces AR protein levels in LNCaP, 22Rv1 and VCaP cells, and decreases the expression of AR downstream targets PSA, PMEPA1 and TMPRSS2; the DC50 value for AR is 1.05 μM in LNCaP cells, while the DC50 values for AR and ARV7 are 1.16 μM and 2.24 μM, respectively, in 22Rv1 cells[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 (5 μM; 5 nM DHT; 4 h) inhibits DHT-induced AR nuclear translocation in LNCaP cells[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 (5 μM) accelerates the degradation of AR protein; the proteasome inhibitor MG132 (HY-13259) abrogates the reduction of AR protein induced by ZNU-IMB-Z15, while ZNU-IMB-Z15 enhances AR ubiquitination, indicating that it promotes AR degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway[1].
ZNU-IMB-Z15 (0.2-5 μM; 24 h) dose-dependently increases cleaved PARP levels and induces apoptosis in VCaP and 22Rv1 cells, whereas exerts weak effects on apoptosis in AR-negative DU145 cells[1].
