MDV3100

MDV3100 is an orally bioavailable, organic, non-steroidal small molecule targeting the androgen receptor (AR) with potential antineoplastic activity. MDV3100 (Enzalutamide) blocks androgens from binding to the androgen receptor and prevents nuclear translocation and co-activator recruitment of the ligand-receptor complex. It also induces tumour cell apoptosis, and has no agonist activity. Early preclinical studies also suggest that MDV3100 inhibits breast cancer cell growth.
