Enzanamo contains Enzalutamide, an oral nonsteroidal anti-androgen medication used primarily for the treatment of prostate cancer, especially metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). It works by blocking androgen receptors, thereby inhibiting the growth and proliferation of prostate cancer cells that depend on androgens like testosterone.
Mechanism of Action
-
Enzalutamide binds to androgen receptors on prostate cancer cells, preventing activation by testosterone or dihydrotestosterone.
-
It inhibits androgen receptor translocation to the nucleus, DNA binding, and coactivator recruitment.
-
By blocking androgen receptor signaling, it reduces tumor growth and progression in androgen-dependent prostate cancer.
Uses
-
Treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
-
Used in non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer to delay disease progression.
-
Can be combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for advanced prostate cancer.
-
Helps reduce tumor growth and prolong survival in patients with prostate cancer.
