Biological Activity:
Flutamide (Eulexin, Flutamin) is an oral nonsteroidal antiandrogen agent primarily used to treat prostate cancer. Flutamide (Eulexin, Flutamin) competes with testosterone and its powerful metabolite, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) for binding to androgen receptors in the prostate gland. By doing so, flutamide (Eulexin, Flutamin) prevents them from stimulating the prostate cancer cells to grow. [1]
