Description:
Enzacept (Enzalutamide 40 mg Capsules) is an androgen receptor inhibitor used in the treatment of prostate cancer. It is a novel hormonal therapy that blocks the action of androgens (male hormones), which fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Enzalutamide is particularly effective in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
Enzalutamide works by binding to the androgen receptor and inhibiting multiple steps in the androgen receptor signaling pathway:
- Prevents androgen binding
- Inhibits nuclear translocation of the androgen receptor
- Blocks DNA binding and transcription of androgen-responsive genes
This triple-action mechanism suppresses cancer cell proliferation and promotes cancer cell death.
Enzacept is indicated for:
- Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
- Non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC)
- Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC)
