flutamide is a non-steroidal antiandrogen commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer. severe hepatotoxicity occurs in few patients, yet may be fatal. to date, none of the reported cases of flutamide hepatotoxicity has demonstrated thrombocytopenia and chronic liver disease. we report the case of a 55-year-old male with prostatic adenocarcinoma who developed liver failure after six months...

Abstract Background A quick, low cost and precise method was developed validated for flutamide in the rat plasma using a high-performance liquid chromatography. Acetanilide used as internal standard study. Flutamide extracted from methanol. The chromatographic analysis carried out on Cromasil C18 column at 227 nm methanol–water mixture mobile phase flow rate of 0.8 ml/min. Results demonstrated ...

Flutamide, an antiandrogen drug, is widely used for the treatment of prostate cancer. The major metabolic pathways of flutamide are hydroxylation and hydrolysis. The hydrolyzed metabolite, 5-amino2-nitrobenzotrifluoride (FLU-1), is further metabolized to N-hydroxy FLU-1, an assumed hepatotoxicant. Our previous study demonstrated that arylacetamide deacetylase (AADAC), one of the major serine es...

The antiandrogenic drug, flutamide, is widely used in the treatment of carcinoma of the prostate. The present study examines the metabolism of flutamide by human liver microsomes and purified recombinant human cytochrome P450s (CYP), expressed as fusion proteins. These studies show the principal role of CYP1A2 in the metabolism of flutamide to 2-hydroxyflutamide. A minor metabolite is formed du...

AIM To identify flutamide regulated genes in the rat ventral prostate. METHODS Total RNA from ventral prostates of control and flutamide treated rats were isolated. Differentially expressed transcripts were identified using differential display reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The effect of castration on the expression of flutamide-regulated transcripts was studied. RESULTS ...
