Flutamide

CAS 13311-84-7C11H11F3N2O3Cell Biology

Flutamide (CAS: 13311-84-7), with the molecular formula C11H11F3N2O3 and a molecular weight of 276.21 g/mol, is a non-steroidal antiandrogen. It functions by competitively inhibiting androgen uptake and/or blocking the action of androgens, primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Flutamide is also investigated for its role in cell biology research, acting as a valuable tool for studying androgen receptor pathways.
