Enzamide-40 Capsules contain Enzalutamide, a potent androgen receptor inhibitor used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. It works by blocking the effect of male hormones (androgens) that stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. This medication is commonly prescribed in metastatic and castration-resistant prostate cancer cases.

Uses / Indications

Enzamide-40 is indicated for the treatment of:

• Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)

• Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC)

• Advanced prostate cancer in patients progressing despite androgen deprivation therapy

Mechanism of Action

Enzalutamide inhibits androgen receptor signaling by:

• Preventing androgen binding to androgen receptors

• Inhibiting nuclear translocation of activated receptors

• Blocking androgen receptor interaction with DNA

This results in suppression of prostate cancer cell growth and proliferation.
