Enzalutamide RC10725

Enzalutamide (MDV3100) is an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist with an IC50 of 36 nM in LNCaP prostate cells.
Enzalutamide is a benzamide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-{3-[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-thioxoimidazolidin-1-yl}-2-fluorobenzoic acid with methylamine. Used for the treatment of of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent and an androgen antagonist. It is a member of benzamides, an imidazolidinone, a thiocarbonyl compound, a nitrile, a member of (trifluoromethyl)benzenes and a member of monofluorobenzenes.|Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. FDA approved on August 31, 2012.|Enzalutamide is an Androgen Receptor Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of enzalutamide is as an Androgen Receptor Antagonist, and Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inducer, and Cytochrome P450 2C9 Inducer, and Cytochrome P450 2C19 Inducer.|Enzalutamide is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen used to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Enzalutamide is associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevation during therapy, but has not been linked to cases of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice.|Enzalutamide is an orally bioavailable, organic, non-steroidal small molecule targeting the androgen receptor (AR) with potential antineoplastic activity. Through a mechanism that is reported to be different from other approved AR antagonists, enzalutamide inhibits the activity of prostate cancer cell ARs, which may result in a reduction in prostate cancer cell proliferation and, correspondingly, a reduction in the serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. AR over-expression in prostate cancer represents a key mechanism associated with prostate cancer hormone resistance.
