AI Article Synopsis

  • A new series of compounds based on RU 58841 and RU 59063 were created by replacing the trifluoromethyl group with iodine to explore their use as radioiodinated androgen receptor (AR) ligands.
  • Some derivatives, particularly those with cyanomethyl, methoxyethyl, and propenyl side-chains, showed moderate binding affinity to rat AR, with K(i) values between 20-59nM.
  • However, larger lipophilic side-chains led to significantly lower binding, while hydroxybutyl and methyl side-chains resulted in superior affinities, making them promising candidates for further development as AR ligands.

Article Abstract

A series of side-chain derivatives of the arylhydantoin RU 58841 and the arylthiohydantoin RU 59063, wherein the aromatic trifluoromethyl group was replaced with iodine, was synthesized for possible development as radioiodinated androgen receptor (AR) ligands. Derivatives containing the cyanomethyl, methoxyethyl and propenyl side-chains displayed moderately high affinity (K(i)=20-59nM) towards the rat AR. Side-chains containing bulky lipophilic groups such as, benzyl and phenylpropyl, were poorly tolerated (K(i)>219nM). Superior AR binding affinities (0.71nM

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer among men worldwide. The main screening tool remains the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), which shows significant limitations, including poor sensitivity/specificity. Therefore, establishing accurate non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers remains an unmet clinical need in PCa.

Background/aim: Although multiple treatments are available for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, data to determine the optimal treatment sequence are limited. This study aimed to investigate the current status of drug therapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer and clarify the sequential treatment in actual clinical practice.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 425 patients diagnosed with castration-resistant prostate cancer at Showa University Hospital and affiliated hospitals between January 2014 and December 2021, who were treated with any of the following four drugs: novel androgen receptor signal inhibitors (abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide) and anticancer drugs (docetaxel and cabazitaxel).

Background: Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are small-molecule compounds that exert agonist and antagonist effects on androgen receptors in a tissue-specific fashion. Because of their performance-enhancing implications, SARMs are increasingly abused by athletes. To date, SARMs have no Food and Drug Administration approved use, and recent case reports associate the use of SARMs with deleterious effects such as drug-induced liver injury, myocarditis, and tendon rupture.

Treatment for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) primarily involves the suppression of androgen receptor (AR) activity using androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs). While ARSIs have extended patient survival, resistance inevitably develops. Mechanisms of resistance include genomic aberrations at the AR locus that reactivate AR signaling, or lineage plasticity that drives emergence of AR-independent phenotypes.
