VPC-13566, a BF3-specific small molecule, is an androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor. VPC-13566 is effective in inhibiting AR transcriptional activity in vitro as well as the growth of AR-dependent PCa cell lines. VPC-13566 can be used as a chemical probe to help identify unknown AR partners.VPC-13566 can be used for the research of cancer.
