A highly potent PROTAC androgen receptor (AR) degrader ARD-61 effectively inhibits AR-positive breast cancer cell growth in vitro and tumor growth in vivo.


ABSTRACT: The androgen receptor (AR) has been found to be expressed in the majority of human breast cancer and AR antagonists, such as enzalutamide, have shown promising clinical activity in AR-positive (AR+) breast cancer. We have recently reported the discovery of a highly potent PROTAC AR degrader, ARD-61. In this study, we evaluated ARD-61 for its therapeutic potential and mechanism of action in breast cancer models in vitro and in vivo. ARD-61 potently and effectively induces AR degradation in AR+ breast cancer cell lines and is much more potent than enzalutamide in inhibition of cell growth and induction of cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. ARD-61 effectively induces complete AR degradation in xenograft tumor tissue and is more effective than enzalutamide in achieving tumor growth inhibition in the MDA-MB-453 xenograft model in mice. Our study provides strong preclinical rationale to develop AR degraders for the treatment of AR+ human breast cancer.
