Propylparaben sodium (propyl parahydroxybenzoate) is a naturally occurring antimicrobial preservative found in plants and bacteria. Widely utilized in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and foods, this compound impairs antral follicle growth and steroidogenic function by modifying the cell-cycle, apoptosis, and steroidogenesis pathways. Additionally, propylparaben sodium reduces sperm count and motility in rats.
SS-RJW100 is an enantiomer of RJW100, known as a racemic agonist that targets two nuclear receptors: liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) and steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1). In vitro experiments reveal that SS-RJW100 promotes the recruitment of coregulator protein fragments and enhances the interaction with the transcriptional intermediary factor 2 (Tif2) coactivator specifically for LRH-1. Additionally, SS-RJW100 disrupts the allosteric activation networks of LRH-1, displaying suboptimal thermal stability [1] [2].
BMS-351 is a potent and selective, nonsteroidal CYP17A1 lyase inhibitor with robust selectivity over steroidogenic CYPs 21A2 and 11B1. BMS-351 emerges as an outstanding preclinical candidate to treat CRPC and is likely to minimize the side effects of current therapies due to its exceptional selectivity. BMS-351 is potentially useful for the Treatment of Prostate Cancer.
