ARD-266 is a VHL-based PROTAC degrader targeting the androgen receptor. Public sources identify it as a highly potent androgen receptor degrader and also note the presence of an alkyne handle suitable for click-chemistry workflows, while detailed atomistic receptor-binding information is not fully expanded in product summaries. In PROTAC design, the androgen receptor-recognition element binds the receptor, the linker connects the functional modules, and the VHL ligand recruits the VHL E3 ligase complex. Mechanistically, ARD-266 induces proximity between androgen receptor and VHL, promoting ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent receptor removal. It is useful for studying androgen receptor protein dependence, nuclear receptor degradation, transcriptional suppression after receptor depletion, comparison of receptor antagonism with receptor destruction, and chemical-biology experiments in which the alkyne functionality enables probe derivatization, localization studies, or target-engagement assay development.

Target: ARD-266 selectively targets androgen receptor in AR-positive cellular systems.
Binding site: Its AR ligand binds the androgen receptor ligand-binding domain.
Mechanism of action: ARD-266 is a highly potent VHL-recruiting androgen receptor PROTAC designed to induce rapid AR protein degradation. The molecule links an AR-recognition ligand to a von Hippel-Lindau ligand, enabling formation of AR–PROTAC–VHL ternary complexes and subsequent ubiquitination of AR. Proteasome-mediated receptor depletion suppresses AR-regulated transcriptional outputs such as PSA, TMPRSS2, and FKBP5 in AR-positive models. ARD-266 is useful for studying receptor turnover, AR transcriptional dependency, degradation potency, resistance-associated receptor biology, and differences between ligand-domain antagonism and complete AR protein depletion.
Applications• PROTAC-Mediated Cancer Research: ARD-266 is utilized in studying the degradation of oncogenic proteins, providing a novel approach for cancer research by selectively eliminating proteins involved in tumor growth and survival, thereby offering insights into potential therapeutic strategies.
• Targeted Protein Degradation in Neurodegenerative Diseases: ARD-266 facilitates the degradation of proteins implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, enabling researchers to investigate the therapeutic potential of reducing toxic protein aggregates in diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
