🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionThis medicine is well absorbed after oral administration. The absolute bioavailability is not established from the available information. Food does not appear to have a clinically significant effect on absorption.
DistributionThis medicine is highly bound to plasma proteins and is distributed widely in the body. It achieves steady-state concentrations after about 4 to 12 weeks of daily dosing. The volume of distribution is not established from the available information.
Protein BindingApproximately 96% bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin.
MetabolismThis medicine is metabolised in the liver, primarily by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4, through oxidation and glucuronidation. The main metabolite is an inactive glucuronide conjugate.
Half-LifeThe elimination half-life is approximately 5 to 6 days in patients with normal liver function. In patients with severe liver impairment, the half-life may be prolonged.
ExcretionThis medicine and its metabolites are excreted in both urine and faeces. Approximately 43% is excreted in urine and 34% in faeces over a 9-day period. The remainder is eliminated through other routes.
BioavailabilityThe absolute bioavailability is not established from the available information. However, the medicine is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Onset of ActionThe onset of action is not immediate. Clinical effects such as reduction in prostate-specific antigen levels may be seen within weeks, but the full benefit may take several months.
Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations are reached approximately 1 hour after oral administration.
Duration of ActionThe duration of action is related to the half-life of approximately 5 to 6 days. With daily dosing, steady-state levels are achieved after about 4 to 12 weeks.

How It Works

This medicine is a non-steroidal antiandrogen. It works by binding to androgen receptors in the body and blocking the action of androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone. By preventing these hormones from stimulating prostate cancer cells, it helps to slow down the growth of the cancer. Unlike some other antiandrogens, it does not lower testosterone levels; instead, it stops testosterone from working at the receptor. This medicine is a pure antiandrogen with no other hormonal activity.

Mechanism Steps

1
Binding to androgen receptor: This medicine binds to the androgen receptor in prostate cancer cells and other androgen-sensitive tissues.
2
Blocking androgen action: By occupying the receptor, it prevents testosterone and dihydrotestosterone from attaching and activating the receptor.
3
Inhibition of gene expression: Without androgen activation, the receptor cannot turn on genes that promote cancer cell growth and division.
4
Slowing cancer growth: The result is reduced proliferation of prostate cancer cells and slower progression of the disease.

👤 A 68-year-old man with metastatic prostate cancer
He was started on this medicine along with a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone analogue.
