                                        Comment: BWA-522 is an orally active cereblon-targeting PROTAC degrader of the androgen receptor (AR) [2]. It was designed for potential to treat advanced prostate cancer. BWA-522 binds to the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the AR using a warhead derived from the antagonist EPI-002 (ralaniten) [1]. Exploiting the NTD is proposed as a strategy to target both wild type ARs and mutated ARs that have no ligand-binding domain (LBD) and that are therefore unsusceptible to androgen-competitive antagonist drugs.
