Application

Bicalutamide for system suitability EP Reference standard, intended for use in laboratory tests only as specifically prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bicalutamide (CDX) is a non-steriodal Androgen Receptor (AR) antagonist and a pure antiandrogen. It acts via balancing histone acetylation/deacetylation and recruitment of coregulators. Bicalutamide (CDX) abolishes androgen-mediated expression. For example, MMP13 upregulation in prostate cancer, PLZF (promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger protein), and GADD45γ (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible, gamma). Bicalutamide (CDX) is inhibited by non-genomic, transcription-independent stimulation of PI3K/AKT phosphorylation by androgens.

In men with locally advanced prostate cancer, bicalutamide 150 mg monotherapy provides a similar disease outcome to medical or surgical castration. However, castration is associated with loss of sexual interest and function, decreased energy and an increased risk of osteoporotic

Bicalutamide is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen with a long elimination half-life (t1/2) that permits once-daily administration. When combined with a gonadorelin (gonadotrophin releasing hormone; GnRH) agonist in maximum androgen blockade (MAB) regimens, bicalutamide 50 mg once daily is at least as
