N-Desmethylenzalutamide is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) and the major metabolite of enzalutamide, an NSAA which is used as a hormonal antineoplastic agent in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.[3][4][2] It has similar activity to that of enzalutamide and, with enzalutamide therapy, circulates at similar concentrations to those of enzalutamide at steady state.[3][4][2] N-Desmethylenzalutamide is formed from enzalutamide in the liver by the cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2C8 and CYP3A4.[4] It has a longer terminal half-life than enzalutamide (7.8 days versus 5.8 days).[2]
