  • AR protein "degradation" in prostate cancer cells was measured by using cycloheximide (a protein synthesis inhibitor) chasing assay method. Briefly, LNCaP cells were incubated with testing ASC compound at the designated concentrations for 24 hours. Subsequently, cycloheximide was added to the cells at a concentration of 15 to block new protein synthesis. After incubation, cells were harvested at designated time periods and the resultant change in AR protein levels were analysed using Western Blot analysis as described above.
  • Compound 28 was synthesized by methylation of Q1230 with methyl iodide in acetone using potassium carbonate as descripted above (Scheme 1). Demethylation of 28 with boron tri bromide (3 eq.) in methylene chloride and purification through combiflash column chromatograph yielded the Compound 29. Treatment of 29 with ethanesulfonyl chloride (3 eq.) in the presence of triethyl amine afforded the Compound 31.
  • Compound 25 was made by conversion of compound 23 through the method of making 24 from 22.
  • Compound 27 was synthesized starting from 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde through general MOM protection (chloro-methoxy methane) and condensation reactions to make Q15M. Fluoridation of Q15M, the resulting compound (0.06 mM) was subjected a de -protection reaction with zinc bromide (ZnBr) (1.5 eq.) and propylthiol (3 eq.) in methylene chloride at rt for 30 min. During which time, a red solution was generated. Methylene chloride was added and the solution was stirred in an ice bath for 10 min. Sat. NaHC0 3 (0.3-0.5 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred in cold for 15 min. After filtration through celite, extraction with CH 2 CI 2, (x2), and purification through combi flash column chromatograph, the desired product was obtained.
  • MOM protection chloro-methoxy methane
  • the indicated compound induced AR protein expression in cancer cells as assayed and determined by Western blotting at 24 or 48 hr post- incubation. The dose of each compound, which induces 50% reduction of AR expression are shown.
