title: Anti-androgens with full antagonistic activity toward human prostate tumor LNCaP cells with mutated androgen receptor.
abstract: Anti-androgens were designed based on the principle of inhibiting the folding of helix 12 of the nuclear androgen receptor. The prepared anti-androgens exhibited full antagonistic activity toward human prostate tumor LNCaP cells with T877A point-mutated nuclear androgen receptor, as far as examined, towards which other known anti-androgens, including hydroxyflutamide, are inactive or act as androgen agonists.
