Apalutamide

Apalutamide (INN) (developmental code name ARN-509, also JNJ-56021927) is a non-steroidal antiandrogen that is under development for the treatment of prostate cancer. It is similar to enzalutamide both structurally and pharmacologically, acting as a selective competitive antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR), but shows some advantages, including greater potency and several-fold reduced central nervous system permeation. Apalutamide is currently in phase III clinical trials for castration-resistant prostate cancer.
