Flutamide is a non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonist that is rapidly converted to 2-hydroxy flutamide in the liver by cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms CYP1A2 and CYP3A4.{24727} Through competitive inhibition of the binding of testosterone to the nuclear androgen receptor (AR; IC50 = ~300-900 nM), 2-hydroxy flutamide blocks the expression of AR target genes and prevents androgen-dependent stabilization of the AR.{24726} Compared to its major metabolite, flutamide is a less potent antiandrogen in vivo. Thus, 2-hydroxy flutamide is the predominant contributor to the therapeutic effects of flutamide in the clinical treatment of prostate cancer.{22432}
