AKR1C3-IN-14

AKR1C3-IN-14 (compound 4) is an AKR1C3 inhibitor (IC50=0.122 μM) that reduces the overproduction of androgens by inhibiting the activity of the AKR1C3 enzyme, thereby regulating hormone-mediated signaling. AKR1C3-IN-14 also plays a role in the biosynthesis of the prostaglandin PGF2α, regulating cell proliferation by affecting this pathway. AKR1C3-IN-14 can be used in the study of prostate cancer.
