Androgen receptor degrader
(Redirected from Androgen receptor degradation enhancer)
A (selective) androgen receptor degrader or downregulator (SARD) is a type of drug which interacts with the androgen receptor (AR) such that it causes the AR to be degraded and thus downregulated.[1] They are under investigation for the treatment of prostate cancer and other androgen-dependent conditions.[1]
As of 2017, dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9), a SARD, is under development for the treatment of acne vulgaris.[2]
In addition, several PROTACs degraders targeting the androgen receptor have been tested in the clinic:
- Bavdegalutamide (ARV-110): Developed by Arvinas, this PROTAC is currently in phase 2 clinical trials and has shown encouraging results for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.[3]
- Luxdegalutamide (ARV-766) Developed by Arvinas, this second-generation AR PROTAC has advanced to phase II clinical trials. It was designed to overcome some limitations of ARV-110, particularly in targeting the AR L702H mutation.[4][5]
- Gridegalutamide (CC-94676, AR-LDD): Initially developed by Celgene and now under Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), this AR PROTAC is in phase I clinical trials for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).[4]
