Flutamide

• UNSPSC Description:

  Flutamide is an Androgen Receptor antagonist with Ki=55 nM. Flutamide inhibits prostate cancer progression and has synergistic effects with Docetaxel (HY-B0011). Flutamide also has the potential to protect against hyperthermia-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome[1][2][3][4][5][6][7].
