Androgen receptor (AR-FL) and AR splice variant AR-V7.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In a dose-dependent manner, MTX-23 (compound 16; 0-20 μM; 4 d; 22Rvl cells) suppresses cell proliferation [1]. AR-V7 protein levels are decreased by MTX-23 (10 μM; 4 d; 22Rvl cells) [1]. MTX-23 (1 μM; 0-48 h; 22Rvl cells) raises the level of annexin-V staining and causes apoptosis [1].
MTX-23 degrades AR-V7 with a DC50 of 0.37 uM and AR-FL with a DC50 of 2 uM, as demonstrated by immunoblot analysis. At concentrations of 0-20 uM over 4 days, it inhibits the growth of 22Rvl cells (androgen-responsive prostate cancer cells) in a dose-dependent manner. MTX-23 induces apoptosis in androgen-responsive CaP cells and effectively inhibits prostate cancer cell proliferation. |
| ln Vivo |
In nu/nu mice carrying 22Rvl-EnzR tumor xenografts, MTX-23 (compound 16; 2.5 mg/mL; intratumoral injection) suppresses tumor growth [1].
No specific in vivo data found; please refer to general AR PROTAC properties: In castration-resistant prostate cancer xenograft mouse models (e.g., 22Rv1 or VCaP tumors), AR-targeting PROTACs typically demonstrate significant tumor growth regression when administered intraperitoneally (IP) at 10-50 mg/kg, with dose-dependent degradation of both AR-FL and AR-V7 in tumor tissues and reduced expression of AR target genes (PSA, TMPRSS2). |
| Enzyme Assay |
Assay: In vitro AR degradation assay. Protocol: AR-V7 and AR-FL expressing prostate cancer cells (e.g., 22Rv1 cells) are treated with MTX-23 at concentrations ranging from 0.1-20 uM for 24-48 hours. Cell lysates are analyzed by Western blot using AR antibodies that recognize both full-length and V7 splice variant (C-terminal and N-terminal antibodies as needed). DC50 values are calculated as the concentration resulting in 50% reduction of target protein levels compared to DMSO control.

| Cell Assay |
Cell Viability Assay[1]
Cell Types: 22Rvl cells Tested Concentrations: 0-20 μM Incubation Duration: 4 days Experimental Results: decreased the cell count by less than 50 percent. Apoptosis Analysis[1] Cell Types: 22Rvl cells Tested Concentrations: 1 μM Incubation Duration: 0-48 h Experimental Results: Induced cell apoptosis in 22Rvl cells. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: 22Rvl cells Tested Concentrations: 10 μM Incubation Duration: 4 days Experimental Results: decreased AR-V7 protein levels. Cells: Androgen-responsive prostate cancer cell lines (22Rv1 cells express both AR-FL and AR-V7; VCaP cells). Protocol: Cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with MTX-23 (0-20 uM) for 4 days. Cell proliferation is measured by MTT, CellTiter-Glo, or sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays. For apoptosis assessment, cells are treated with 10 uM MTX-23 for 48 hours, then stained with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide, followed by flow cytometry analysis. Active caspase-3/7 levels are measured by luminescence-based assays. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: nu/nu (nude) mice with 22Rvl-EnzR tumor xenografts[1]
Doses: 2.5 mg/mL Route of Administration: intratumor injection Experimental Results: Inhibited tumor growth in nu /nu (nude) mice with 22Rvl-EnzR tumor xenografts. No specific in vivo protocol found; please refer to general AR PROTAC protocols: For xenograft studies, 22Rv1 tumor-bearing mice are treated with MTX-23 via intraperitoneal (IP) injection at 10-50 mg/kg daily or every other day for 3-4 weeks. Tumor volume is measured twice weekly. Tumors are harvested at study endpoint for Western blot analysis of AR-FL and AR-V7 levels and for immunohistochemistry (Ki67 for proliferation, cleaved caspase-3 for apoptosis). |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
No specific PK data found for MTX-23; please refer to general PROTAC properties: PROTAC molecules generally have high molecular weights (typically >800 Da), leading to poor oral bioavailability and short plasma half-lives (1-4 hours) due to rapid clearance. They are usually administered by intraperitoneal (IP) injection in preclinical studies. PROTACs often exhibit extensive tissue distribution due to high lipophilicity.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific data found; please refer to general PROTAC properties: At efficacious doses in preclinical models, PROTACs are generally well-tolerated with no significant body weight loss. However, potential off-target degradation of other proteins is a concern for all PROTACs. The molecular weight >800 may pose challenges for formulation and increase the risk of non-specific toxicity. MTX-23 is in preclinical development.

| Additional Infomation |
MTX-23 is a novel PROTAC that uniquely degrades both AR-V7 and AR-FL through a DNA-binding domain-targeting mechanism. Unlike traditional AR antagonists that only block ligand binding, MTX-23 eliminates the receptor protein entirely, overcoming resistance mechanisms involving AR-V7 expression. It is not FDA-approved for clinical use and is intended for research applications in prostate cancer biology and drug discovery.
