Bicalutamide CAS 90357-06-5 API Factory High Quality Advanced Prostate Cancer

Bicalutamide (CAS: 90357-06-5) is a non-steroidal androgen antagonist, which competes androgen receptor with the androgen, blocks cellular uptake of androgen, and inhibits the binding of androgens to the target organ. It binds with the androgen receptor that forms receptor complex, which enters the nucleus and combined with the nucleoprotein, consequently inhibiting tumor cell growth. It can be as a first-line drug for palliative treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Bicalutamide was launched in the United Kingdom, its first worldwide market, for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer in combination with an LHRH analog or surgical castration. A non-steroidal, peripherally selective antiandrogen, bicalutamide inhibits the action of dihydrotestosterone and testosterone at target sites by competitive binding to the cytosolic androgen receptor. It was reportedly well tolerated with no significant cardiovascular and metabolic side effects due to the benefit of lacking any steroid activity. The efficacy of bicalutamide as a monotherapy has been demonstrated clinically. Promising response rates were also reported in treating colorectal, breast, pancreas and non-small cell lung cancers.
