Bicalutamide is an androgen receptor blocker used in the treatment of prostate cancer.
MFDS ingredient code M089188
Bicalutamide is an antineoplastic agent that belongs to the class of non-steroidal androgen receptor blockers. It is primarily used for the treatment of prostate cancer, and it inhibits the action of the male hormone androgen on cancer cells, suppressing their growth.
Bicalutamide attaches to the androgen receptors in the body where male hormones bind, blocking them. As a result, hormonal signals are not transmitted to the cancer cells, inhibiting their proliferation.
