SHR3680 is a novel strong AR antagonist. By competitively binding to AR, SHR3680 inhibits androgen-mediated translocation of AR to the nucleus, binding of AR to Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and finally the transcription of AR target genes, thus possibly resulting in a specific and strong anti-tumor effect on prostate cancer. Unlike first-generation AR antagonists (e.g. bicalutamide), which undergoes an antagonist-to-agonist switch to stimulate AR in the setting of AR overexpression in CRPC, SHR3680 is a full antagonist of AR and thus it is supposed to be more effective for the treatment of CRPC.
