Résumé

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most prevalent malignancy among men worldwide. The aberrant activation of androgen receptor (AR) signaling has been recognized as a crucial oncogenic driver for PCa and AR antagonists are widely used in PCa therapy. To develop novel AR antagonist, a machine-learning MIEC-SVM model was established for the virtual screening and 51 candidates were selected and submitted for bioactivity evaluation. To our surprise, a new-scaffold AR antagonist C2 with comparable bioactivity with Enz was identified at the initial round of screening. C2 showed pronounced inhibition on the transcriptional function (IC
