Product Information

• Name: 4-Amino-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile
• Synonyms: 4-Cyano-3-trifluoromethylaniline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Nilutamide is a drug that belongs to the class of acylation agents. It is used for the treatment of prostate cancer. Nilutamide binds to and inhibits the function of androgen receptors in prostate cancer cells, which prevents the synthesis of testosterone. This results in the death of prostate cancer cells by inhibiting cell growth and triggering apoptosis. It has been shown that nilutamide has a low bioavailability when administered orally, but can be detected in vivo using a model based on human tissues. The molecule was found to have high affinity for fatty acids, which may explain its ability to bind with phospholipids in membranes and inhibit cell proliferation.
