Pharmacology
- Indication
For treatment (together with surgery or LHRH analogue) of advanced prostatic cancer.
- Associated Conditions
- Pharmacodynamics
Bicalutamide is an antineoplastic hormonal agent primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Bicalutamide is a pure, nonsteroidal anti-androgen with affinity for androgen receptors (but not for progestogen, estrogen, or glucocorticoid receptors). Consequently, Bicalutamide blocks the action of androgens of adrenal and testicular origin which stimulate the growth of normal and malignant prostatic tissue. Prostate cancer is mostly androgen-dependent and can be treated with surgical or chemical castration. To date, antiandrogen monotherapy has not consistently been shown to be equivalent to castration.
- Mechanism of action
Bicalutamide competes with androgen for the binding of androgen receptors, consequently blocking the action of androgens of adrenal and testicular origin which stimulate the growth of normal and malignant prostatic tissue.
Target Actions Organism AAndrogen receptor antagonistHumans - Absorption
Bicalutamide is well-absorbed following oral administration, although the absolute bioavailability is unknown.
- Volume of distribution
- Not Available
- Protein binding
96%
- Metabolism
Bicalutamide undergoes stereo specific metabolism. The S (inactive) isomer is metabolized primarily by glucuronidation. The R (active) isomer also undergoes glucuronidation but is predominantly oxidized to an inactive metabolite followed by glucuronidation.
