ARV-110 is an orally bioavailable, specific androgen receptor (AR) PROTAC degrader that leads to ubiquitination and degradation of AR [1]. ARV-110 can degrade mutant AR proteins and inhibit the expression of AR target genes PSA and FKBP5[2]. ARV-110 has been widely used in prostate cancer models to inhibit tumor growth and reduce the expression of the oncogenic protein Erg[3].
In vitro, ARV-110 treatment for 4 days significantly inhibited the viability of 22Rv1 cells, LNCaP cells and VCap cells, with IC50 values of 0.316μM, 0.124μM and 0.125μM, respectively[4]. Treatment with 100nM ARV-110 for 48 hours significantly induced AR degradation in LNCaP cells and inhibited the synthesis of PSA protein[5].
In vivo, oral administration of 0.5mg/kg dose of ARV-110 daily for 14 days significantly inhibited tumor growth in a DU145 cell-xenograft mouse model[6]. For 8 consecutive weeks, subcutaneous administration of 1mg/kg dose of ARV-110 daily reduced the levels of AR proteins in white adipose tissue (WAT), kidneys, liver and ovaries of the mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome, mitigated the increase in body weight, fat mass, kidney mass, WAT mass and circulating leptin levels induced by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and altered glucose homeostasis[7]. Subcutaneous injection of 1mg/kg/day dose of ARV-110 for 8 weeks can alleviate DHT-induced obesity, glucose intolerance, as well as kidney hypertrophy and damage in mice[8].

ARV-110是一种具有口服生物利用度的特异性雄激素受体(AR)PROTAC降解剂,可导致AR的泛素化和降解[1]。ARV-110能够降解突变型AR蛋白,并抑制AR靶基因PSA和FKBP5的表达[2]。ARV-110已被广泛用于前列腺癌模型,以抑制肿瘤生长并降低致癌蛋白Erg的表达[3]。
在体外,ARV-110处理4天显著抑制了22Rv1细胞、LNCaP细胞和VCap细胞的活力,IC50值分别为0.316µM、0.124µM和0.125µM[4]。使用100nM的ARV-110处理48小时,显著诱导了LNCaP细胞中AR的降解,并抑制了PSA蛋白的合成[5]。
在体内,每日口服0.5mg/kg剂量的ARV-110,持续14天,显著抑制了DU145细胞异种移植小鼠模型中的肿瘤生长[6]。连续8周每日皮下注射1mg/kg剂量的ARV-110,降低了多囊卵巢综合征小鼠模型中白色脂肪组织(WAT)、肾脏、肝脏和卵巢的AR蛋白水平,减轻了二氢睾酮(DHT)诱导的体重、脂肪量、肾脏质量、WAT质量和循环瘦素水平的增加,并改变了葡萄糖稳态[7]。给小鼠每日皮下注射1mg/kg剂量的ARV-110,持续8周,可缓解DHT诱导的肥胖、葡萄糖耐受不良,以及肾脏肥大和损伤[8]。
