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).

    JJ-450
    Antagonist
    JJ-450 is a non-competitive antagonist androgen receptor (AR) that inhibits the transcriptional activity of wild-type AR and mutant ARF876L. JJ-450 has an IC50 of approximately 1-10 μM in inhibiting AR transcriptional activity in PC3 cells. It is selective for AR binding and does not compete with androgens for binding to the ligand binding domain (LBD) of AR. JJ-450 inhibits the transcriptional activity of AR and its splice variants (such as ARF876L) by inhibiting AR nuclear translocation and promoting the degradation of unliganded AR in the nucleus. JJ-450 can be used in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) studies that are resistant to Enzalutamide (MDV3100) (HY-70003).
