Biochem/physiol Actions

Ailanthone, natural compound isolated from Ailanthus altissima (Simaroubaceae), is a potent inhibitor of androgen receptor (AR) that blocks activities of full-length AR and AR splice variants. It overcomes MDV3100 (Enzalutamide)-resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer cell lines. Ailanthone disrupts the interaction between AR and the chaperones HSP90, HSP70, and HSP40, which leads to AR ubiquitination and degradation.

Androgen receptor (AR) antagonist MDV3100 is the first therapeutic approach in treating castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), but tumours frequently become drug resistant via multiple mechanisms including AR amplification and mutation. Here we identify the small molecule Ailanthone (AIL) as a

While searching for natural anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) components in Ailanthus altissima, we discovered that ailanthone had potent antineoplastic activity against HCC. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumor effect of ailanthone on HCC have not been examined. In this study
