ARD-266 is a highly potent and VHL E3 ligase-based androgen receptor (AR) PROTAC degrader. ARD-266 effectively induces degradation of AR protein in AR-positive LNCaP, VCaP, and 22Rv1 prostate cancer cell lines with DC50 values of 0.2-1 nM[1].
ARD-266 (Compound 11; 100 nM; 1-24 hours; LNCaP and VCaP cells) treatment effectively reduces the AR protein level within 3 h and achieves near-complete AR elimination with a 6 h treatment in the LNCaP cells[1].ARD-266 (Compound 11; 1-10000 nM; 24 hours; LNCaP cells) treatment effectively suppresses the expression of PSA, TMPRSS2, and FKBP5 genes in a dosedependent manner and is capable of reducing the mRNA levels of PSA, TMPRSS2, and FKBP5 genes by >50% at 10 nM in the LNCaP cell line[1].
