Abstract:
Objective 1 Improve the solubility and pharmacodynamic properties of previously identified Hsp40 and Hsp70 inhibitors in preparation for Phase I clinical evaluation in CRPC patients. 2 Determine whether these chaperone inhibitors sensitize resistant CRPC to Enz andor Abi and, if so, by what mechanisms. 3 Increase our understanding of the role of these chaperones in regulating CRPC metabolic deregulation, with the goal of identifying novel synergistic combinatorial approaches to target CRPC. Impact By identifying a chaperone-based approach to inhibit or reverse CRPC resistance to Enz andor Abi, the current research proposal addresses the dual 2018 PCRP Overarching Challenges of 1 developing treatments that improve the outcomes for men with lethal prostate cancer and 2 better defining the biology of lethal prostate cancer to reduce death. Further, consistent with the mandate of the PCRP Impact Award, a key goal of our research strategy is to position the program for first-in-human clinical evaluation of one or more of these chaperone inhibitors within 5 years after completion of this Award.
