Summary
As prostate cancer progresses it becomes resistant to first line treatments and the current second line treatments have untoward side effects. This proposal will provide proof of principal for new selective drugs to be developed. We propose an innovative strategy to develop new selective drugs for the treatment of prostate cancer. This new therapeutic approach will identify new compounds for patients specifically with castrate sensitive and resistant prostate cancer.
