Article: New findings from A.A. Soderholm and co-authors in the area of chemical modeling published.

According to a study from Espoo, Finland, "We have identified and profiled a set of androgen receptor (AR) binding compounds representing two nonsteroidal scaffolds from a public chemical database supplied by Asinex with virtual screening procedure incorporating our recently published 3D QSAR model of AR ligands. The diphenyl- and phenylpyridine-based compounds act as antagonists in wild-type AR in CV1 cells and also retain this antagonistic character in CV1 cells expressing T877A mutant receptor."

"This mutation is frequently associated with prostate cancer. Two of the compounds repress the androgen-dependent cell growth of LNCaP prostate cancer cells expressing ...
