Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: ARD-69 is a potent proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) degrader of the androgen receptor (AR) that was designed as a proof-of-concept lead to evaluate the potential of PROTAC technology as a novel treatment mechanism for AR-positive, castration-resistant prostate cancer [2]. It contains an AR antagonist (reported in [1]) that binds the AR, joined by a small linker molecule to a second ligand (in this case a VHL ligand) that engages the E3 ubiquitin ligase system via Cullin-2. This chimeric molecular structure targets AR protein for ubiquitination-dependent proteolysis.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |
