A cell-permeable morpholinyl thiazole compound that selectively binds to the DNA-binding domain of androgen receptor (AR) and blocks its activity (IC50 = 340 nM in PC3 cells). Its inhibitory effect is comparable to enzalutamide (IC50 = 314 nM). Does not affect Y594D and Q592D mutant forms of AR. However, Y594A and Q592A mutant AR activity can be inhibited at much higher concentrations (3 - 6 mM). Shown to down-regulate the expression of AR-responsive genes in LNCaP Cells, however, it does not affect genotoxin-responsive genes expression. Suppresses the growth of androgen-sensitive LNCaP xenografts in mice (~100 mg/kg, i.p., b.i.d.).
Please note that the molecular weight for this compound is batch-specific due to variable water content. Please refer to the vial label or the certificate of analysis for the batch-specific molecular weight. The molecular weight provided represents the baseline molecular weight without water.
