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.

Certain drugs containing a nitroaromatic moiety (e.g., tolcapone, nimesulide, nilutamide, flutamide, nitrofurantoin) have been associated with organ-selective toxicity including rare cases of idiosyncratic liver injury. What they have in common is the potential for multistep nitroreductive bioactivation (6-electron transfer) that

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
