Mechanism of action

ASP1585 works by binding to the androgen receptor and recruiting it for proteasomal degradation, thereby eliminating both the protein and its transcriptional activity. This mechanism differs from traditional androgen receptor antagonists by completely removing the receptor rather than simply blocking its function, potentially overcoming resistance mechanisms. This approach is designed to provide more complete suppression of androgen receptor signaling in hormone-sensitive cancers.
