RLA-5331 is an Iron Activator Containing Anti-androgen
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the world. Depending on the grade of cancer, a variable percentage of these patients experience progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) within 10 years. However, CRPC can develop into metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (MCRPC). Research has shown that...
Xentuzumab is a Monoclonal Antibody That Targets IGF Ligands IGF1 and IGF2
IGF, an insulin-like growth factor, regulates cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The IGF system is made up of IGF1, IGF2, insulin, and corresponding receptors. It transmits abnormal signals to cause a variety of cancers. One that stands out is castration-resistant prostate cancer. IGF can either up-regulate IGF-binding proteins or...
Proxalutamide (GT0918) is a Potent Androgen Receptor (AR) Antagonist
Androgen receptors (ARs) mediate cell differentiation and development of prostate cancer. The target is a common therapeutic target in prostate cancer. Proxalutamide (GT0918) design is based on the core structure of MDV3100 but is optimized by computer-aided design. It is an innovative compound for prostate cancer and advanced breast...
IPI-9119 is an Orally Active, Selective and Irreversible FASN Inhibitor
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a multi-enzyme protein that catalyzes the synthesis of fatty acids. Its main function is to catalyze the synthesis of palmitate (C16:0) from acetyl CoA and malonyl COA in the presence of NADPH. Specifically, FASN is a key enzyme responsible for the synthesis of fatty...
Y06137 is a Selective BET Inhibitor for Treatment of CRPC
Prostate cancer arises as an androgen driven disease. Therefore the mainstay of systemic therapy for patients with advanced disease is androgen deprivation therapy. Despite of significant responses, nearly all patients ultimately progress and castration resistance ensues. Castration resistant prostate cancer therefore represents a stage in the continuum of the...
