Abstract excerpt
Androgen receptors (AR) are the primary drug target in prostate cancer (PCa). There are several drugs developed against its activity for prostate cancer treatment, but cancer cells revive AR signaling against those drugs by using alternative steroids such as glucocorticoids. In addition, antagonists become agonists due to emergence of mutations in AR gene. The mechanism by which antagonists are converted into...
