LO-4-25

LO-4-25 is a covalent degrader targeting the androgen receptor (AR) and its splice variant AR-V7. It covalently binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase CUL4 DCAF16, facilitating the ubiquitination of both AR and AR-V7, which are then recognized and degraded by the proteasome, leading to reduced protein levels of AR and AR-V7 in cells. LO-4-25 is promising for research on androgen-independent prostate cancer.
