Product Description
ARCC-4 is a nanomolar androgen receptor (AR) degrader based on PROTAC technology with a D50 of 5 nM. ARCC-4 is an enzalutamide-based von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)-recruiting AR PROTAC. ARCC-4 effectively degrades AR mutations relevant to antiandrogen studies.
ARCC-4 (CAS 1973403-00-7) is a low-nanomolar androgen receptor (AR) degrader based on PROTAC technology. It has a DC50 of 5 nM. ARCC-4 is an enzalutamide-based von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)-recruiting AR PROTAC. It selectively degrades AR via the proteasome but not PR-A or PR-B. ARCC-4 inhibits prostate tumor cell proliferation, degrades clinically relevant AR point mutants, and retains antiproliferative effect in a high androgen environment.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
ARCC-4 targets the androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear hormone receptor that plays a critical role in prostate cancer progression. It is a PROTAC (proteolysis-targeting chimera) that recruits the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ligase to the androgen receptor, leading to its ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. ARCC-4 selectively degrades AR via the proteasome but not PR-A or PR-B.
ln Vitro
The three-promoted polymer complex binds more readily when ARCC-4 improves the protein-protein reaction between AR and VHL [1]. AR can be efficiently degraded by -4 (0.1-10,000 nM; 20 hours), with a D50 of 5 nM and a Dmax of greater than 95% [1]. Molds with ARCC-4 (100 nM; 12 hours) exhibit AR. ARCC-4 does not impede PR-A or PR-B, but it nearly solely modulates AR through chromoplast pigments [1]. Clinically significant AR mutations are effectively suppressed by ARCC-4 [1]. ARCC-4 is still functional in the presence of high androgen levels [1].
In vitro, ARCC-4 degrades about 95% of cellular androgen receptors. It has a DC50 of 5 nM. ARCC-4 inhibits prostate tumor cell proliferation, degrades clinically relevant AR point mutants, and retains antiproliferative effect in a high androgen environment, unlike enzalutamide. It is based on enzalutamide and incorporates a VHL E3 ligase ligand.
ln Vivo
In vivo, ARCC-4 shows efficacy against clinically relevant AR mutations and maintains activity despite elevated androgen levels. It inhibits prostate tumor cell proliferation in preclinical models. However, specific details of in vivo studies, such as the animal models used and the dosing regimens, are not extensively detailed in the available literature.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro binding assay for ARCC-4 measures its ability to bind to the androgen receptor and recruit the VHL E3 ligase. These cell-free assays typically use purified proteins or cell lysates to assess the formation of the ternary complex. The compound's ability to induce AR ubiquitination can also be assessed in cell-free systems. These assays provide a direct measure of the compound's mechanism of action.
Cell Assay

Cell Types: VCaP cells
Tested Concentrations: 0.1 nM, 1 nM, 10 nM, 50 nM, 100 nM, 0.5μM, 1μM. , 10 μM
Incubation Duration: 20 hrs (hours)
Experimental Results: Effective degradation of AR
In vitro cellular assays for ARCC-4 assess its ability to degrade the androgen receptor and inhibit cell proliferation. Prostate cancer cell lines are treated with various concentrations of ARCC-4, and AR protein levels are measured by Western blot to determine the DC50. Cell proliferation is assessed using cell viability assays. These assays demonstrate the compound's ability to degrade AR and inhibit prostate tumor cell proliferation.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for ARCC-4 are conducted in mouse xenograft models of prostate cancer. Tumor-bearing mice are treated with ARCC-4, and tumor growth is monitored. The compound's ability to inhibit tumor growth and degrade AR in vivo is assessed. These studies demonstrate the compound's in vivo efficacy against prostate cancer. However, specific details are not extensively detailed in the available literature.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for ARCC-4 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As a PROTAC, its pharmacokinetic properties are important for its in vivo efficacy. However, specific parameters such as oral bioavailability, half-life, and distribution are not provided. The compound is primarily used in research settings.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for ARCC-4 are not extensively detailed in the available literature. As a PROTAC targeting the androgen receptor, its toxicity profile is likely related to its mechanism of action. However, preclinical toxicology studies would be required to assess its safety margin. The compound is intended for research use only and is not for human use.
