“…In contrast, receptor antagonists are unable to induce a similar repositioning of H12, leading to a receptor formation that is incompatible with co-activator recruitment and is therefore less likely to activate transcription. The LBDs of PRB and PRA are identical and provide for high affinity binding to P. 12,50 The LBD of the AR in humans, rats, and mice is identical and provides for high affinity binding of two endogenous androgens, T and 5α-hydroxyT (DHT), the latter of which binds with much greater affinity. 38,66 Numerous high affinity synthetic ligands for PR and AR have been developed, including the agonists R5020 and R1181, respectively (Table 25.2).…”
