Ailanthone targets p23 to overcome MDV3100 resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer

Prostate cancers often become castration resistant due to alternative expression of androgen receptor (AR) splice variants. Here, the authors screened a library of natural compounds and identified Ailanthone as a potent inhibitor of AR through its binding to the co-chaperone protein p23 that, by pre...
