Application

Nilutamide has been used:
  • as a nuclear androgen receptor (nAR) inhibitor to study its effects on oocyte maturation in zebrafish
  • to determine its effects on bioluminescent Saccharomyces cerevisiae bioreporters in BLYAS assay
  • as a substrate in hydrogenation reaction

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nilutamide is a nuclear androgen receptor inhibitor. It is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen that competitively inhibits the binding of dihydrotestosterone to the androgen receptor. Nilutamide shows a therapeutic effect against prostate cancer.

Many pesticides possess hormonal activity and have thus been classified as endocrine disruptors. Pyrethroids are commonly used pesticides worldwide, but little has been done to characterize their antiandrogenic activity potential. We tested three frequently encountered pyrethroids (fenvalerate, cypermethrin, permethrin) and
