Hi Wang,

Unfortunately not. Your best option is probably to try converting it to a
pdb or mol2 file. You can then run this through antechamber (assuming this
is for a small ligand and not a complete protein) to get you the files
required to produce a prmtop and inpcrd file for use in sander.

See section 4 of the amber tools v1.0 manual and the following tutorial for
an example of how to use antechamber:

Good luck,
Ross
