Ralaniten and analogs (EPI) bind androgen receptor N‐terminal domain (AR‐NTD) to block the transcriptional activities of full‐length AR (FL‐AR) and AR splice variants (AR‐Vs). Enzalutamide (ENZ) elevates levels of AR‐V7 leading to resistance and increased proliferation. Targeting AR‐NTD to block FL‐AR and AR‐Vs with EPI in combination with ENZ resulted in synergistic inhibition of proliferation of ENZ‐resistant prostate cancer cells.
