Abstract Activation of androgen receptor (AR) is crucial for prostate cancer growth. Remarkably, also castration-resistant (CRPC) dependent on functional AR and several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the addiction. Known causes CRPC include gene amplification overexpression as well point mutations AR. We report here pharmacological profile ODM-201, a novel inhibitor that showed significant antitumor activity favorable safety in phase 1/2 studies men with CRPC. ODM-201 full...

The collagens are recognized by the αI domains of collagen receptor integrins. A common structural feature in collagen-binding is presence an extra helix, named helix αC. However, its participation binding has not been shown. Here, we have deleted αC α<sub>2</sub>I domain and tested function resultant recombinant protein (ΔαCα<sub>2</sub>I) using a real-time biosensor. ΔαCα<sub>2</sub>I had reduced affinity for type I (430 ± 90 nm) when compared with wild-type (90 30 nm), indicating both...

Abstract Introduction: BET (bromodomain and extraterminal) family proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, BRDT) are epigenetic readers that bind to acetylated-lysine residues in histones recruit protein complexes promote transcription elongation. In many cancers, have been shown regulate expression of MYC other oncogenic drivers important for cell proliferation survival. Pharmacologic inhibition the BET-histone interaction has result transcriptional downregulation a number oncogenes tumor growth...

5057 Background: Activating AR mutations ensure a continued activation by non-androgen steroid ligands, e.g. progesterone and glucocorticoids. CYP11A1 is the only enzyme that catalyzes conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone, from which all hormones (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, sex steroids) are subsequently derived. ODM-208, an oral, selective inhibitor CYP11A1, being evaluated for safety efficacy as treatment mCRPC in ongoing CYPIDES phase I/II trial men previously treated with...

340 Background: Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a major cause of mortality worldwide. The mechanisms behind the development resistance are complex and not fully understood; altered androgen synthesis, receptor (AR) overexpression or gene amplification, mutations have been indentified. However, tumor growth may still be responsive to therapies that can further suppress de novo intratumoral steroid synthesis upstream CYP17A1. ODM-208 an oral, non-steroidal selective inhibitor...

Background: Prostate cancer is a major global challenge due to the increasing number of aging population and frequency diagnosis. During past decade new treatments have been targeted androgen signaling axis either by inhibiting binding androgens receptor (AR) AR nuclear translocation, or production via CYP17A1 enzyme. Despite significant progress on research therapies, CRPC still incurable there urgent need for better, more effective treatments. ODM-208 an oral, non-steroidal selective...

Abstract Androgen receptor (AR) mutations have been described to emerge in response prostate cancer treatment with first generation AR antagonists, resulting broadened ligand specificity and antagonist-to-agonist switch. Second-generation antagonists enzalutamide ARN-509 function as the presence of overexpression. They express high clinical efficacy castration resistant (CRPC) but eventually resistance will emerge.
