Darolutamide was not associated with a higher incidence of seizures, falls, fractures, cognitive disorder, or hypertension than placebo. CONCLUSIONS Among men with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer, metastasis-free survival was significantly longer with darolutamide than with placebo. The incidence of adverse events was similar for darolutamide and placebo.

  • Cyproterone Acetate Acts As a Disruptor of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Cyproterone acetate acts as a disruptor of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor Chih‑Shou Chen1, Guan‑Lun Gao2,3, Dong‑Ru Ho1, Chih‑Yi Lin2, Yu‑Ting Chou2, Shan‑Chun Chen2, Min‑Cong Huang1, Wen‑Ya Kao2 & Jyan‑Gwo Joseph Su2* Prostate cancer is a major cause of death in males. Cyproterone acetate (CPA), the steroidal anti‑ androgen for part of androgen deprivation therapy, may block the androgen‑receptor interaction and then reduce serum testosterone through its weak anti‑gonadotropic action. In addition to CPA inducing hepatitis, CPA is known to cause liver tumors in rats also. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a cytoplasmic receptor and regulates multiple physiological functions. CYP1A1 is an AhR‑targeted gene. We found that CPA induced CYP1A1 expression, transcriptional activity of the aryl hydrocarbon response element (AHRE), and the nuclear localization of AhR in mouse Hepa‑1c1c7 cells. However, CPA suppressed CYP1A1 mRNA expression and the transcriptional activity of AHRE in human HepG2 and MCF7 cells, and also decreased AhR ligand‑induced CYP1A1 protein expression and transcriptional activity of AHRE in HepG2 cells. In summary, CPA is an AhR agonist in mouse cells, but an AhR antagonist in human cells. Accordingly, CPA potentially plays a role as an endocrine disruptor of the AhR. This study helps us to understand why CPA induces acute hepatitis, gene mutation, and many other side efects. In addition, it may trigger further studies investigating the relationships between CPA, glucocorticoid receptor and castration‑resistant prostate cancer in the future. Abbreviations AhR Aryl hydrocarbon receptor AHRE Aryl hydrocarbon response element CPA Cyproterone acetate CYP Cytochrome P450 Cyproterone acetate is used in hormone replacement therapy and several diferent types of cancer1,2.

  • DRUG NAME: Darolutamide
    Darolutamide DRUG NAME: Darolutamide SYNONYM(S): ODM-201, BAY-18417881 COMMON TRADE NAME(S): NUBEQA® CLASSIFICATION: hormonal agent Special pediatric considerations are noted when applicable, otherwise adult provisions apply. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Darolutamide is a nonsteroidal androgen receptor inhibitor which affects several steps in the androgen receptor signaling pathway. It inhibits nuclear translocation of activated androgen receptors, DNA binding, and androgen receptor-mediated gene transcription. In xenograft models, darolutamide reduced tumour cell proliferation, which led to decreased tumour volume. Darolutamide competitively inhibits binding of androgens to androgen receptors. Unlike conventional androgen receptor inhibitors, darolutamide lacks agonist activity in cells that overexpress androgen receptors. Darolutamide has demonstrated inhibition in both wild-type and mutant androgen receptors.2-4 PHARMACOKINETICS: Oral Absorption Cmax: 4 hours; bioavailability ~30% (fasted state); 2-2.5 fold increase in bioavailability when administered with food Distribution primarily bound to serum albumin cross blood brain barrier? low penetration based on animal studies; likelihood of clinical relevance in humans is low volume of distribution 119 L plasma protein binding 92% darolutamide; 99.8% keto-darolutamide Metabolism primarily metabolized by CYP 3A4 active metabolite(s) keto-darolutamide (2-fold higher total plasma exposure compared to darolutamide) inactive metabolite(s) no information found Excretion primarily by urinary excretion urine 63.4% (~7% unchanged) feces 32.4% (~30% unchanged) terminal half life 20 h clearance 116 mL/min Elderly no clinically significant difference Ethnicity no clinically significant difference Adapted from standard reference1-3 unless specified otherwise.
