Abstract

Fifteen new diarylheptanoids were synthesized and evaluated for antagonistic activity against androgen receptor (AR)-mediated reporter gene transcription using DU145, PC-3, and LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines. Most compounds showed activity in a 5α- dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced reporter gene expression assay in DU145 cells transfected with wild-type AR. Ten compounds (5, 8, 10, 14–15, and 18–22) were ...
