Darolutamide is an androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor with a flexible polar-substituted pyrazole structure that binds with high affinity directly to the receptor ligand binding domain. Darolutamide competitively inhibits androgen binding, AR nuclear translocation, and AR mediated transcription. A major metabolite, keto-darolutamide, exhibited similar in vitro activity to darolutamide. Darolutamide treatment decreases prostate tumour cell proliferation leading to potent antitumour activity.
