Androgen receptor (AR) plays important roles in the development of prostate cancer (PCa), and therefore it has been regarded as the most important therapeutic target for both hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) and advanced PCa. In this study, a novel hit (C18) with IC50 of 2.4 μM against AR transcriptional activity in LNCaP cell was identified through structure-based virtual screening based on molecular docking and free energy calculations. The structure-activity relationship analysis and structural optimization of C18 resulted in the discovery of a structural analogue (AT2), a more potent AR antagonist with 16-fold improved anti-AR potency. Further assays indicated that AT2 was capable of effectively inhibiting the transcriptional function of AR and blocking the nuclear translocation of AR like the second-generation AR antagonists. The antagonists discovered in this study may be served as the promising lead compounds for the development of AR-driven PCa therapeutics.

通过基于结构的虚拟筛选,结构优化和生物学评估确定了新型雄激素受体拮抗剂。

雄激素受体(AR)在前列腺癌(PCa)的发展中起着重要作用,因此,它已被视为激素敏感性前列腺癌(HSPC)和晚期PCa的最重要治疗靶标。在这项研究中,通过基于分子对接和自由能计算的基于结构的虚拟筛选,鉴定了针对LNCaP细胞中AR转录活性的IC50为2.4μM的新型命中点(C18)。C18的结构活性关系分析和结构优化导致发现了结构类似物(AT2),这是一种更有效的AR拮抗剂,抗AR效力提高了16倍。进一步的分析表明,像第二代AR拮抗剂一样,AT2能够有效抑制AR的转录功能并阻断AR的核易位。
