FDA Label
Bicalutamide is an antineoplastic hormonal agent primarily used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Bicalutamide is a pure, nonsteroidal anti-androgen with affinity for androgen receptors (but not for progestogen, estrogen, or glucocorticoid receptors). Consequently, Bicalutamide blocks the action of androgens of adrenal and testicular origin which stimulate the growth of normal and malignant prostatic tissue. Prostate cancer is mostly androgen-dependent and can be treated with surgical or chemical castration. To date, antiandrogen monotherapy has not consistently been shown to be equivalent to castration.

... Healthy male volunteers (n = 15) were administered single oral doses of bicalutamide (50 mg) after food and after fasting as part of a three-treatment, three-period, randomized cross-over study, with a 9 week washout. After fasting, plasma concentrations of (R)-bicalutamide were much higher than those of (S)-bicalutamide; the mean (R)-enantiomer Cmax (734 ng mL-1) was about nine times higher than the (S)-enantiomer value (84 ng mL-1). The corresponding tmax values were 19 and 3 hr for (R)- and (S)-bicalutamide, respectively. Elimination of (R)-bicalutamide from plasma was monoexponential and slow (t1/2 = 5.8 d). Elimination of (S)-bicalutamide was biphasic in some volunteers but monophasic in others (terminal t1/2 =1.2 d; n = 11). There was no significant effect of food on AUC, tmax, or t1/2 data for either enantiomer. The observed slightly higher values of Cmax for (R)-bicalutamide (14%) and (S)-bicalutamide (19%), when dosing with food, achieved statistical significance. ...

Bicalutamide competes with androgen for the binding of androgen receptors, consequently blocking the action of androgens of adrenal and testicular origin which stimulate the growth of normal and malignant prostatic tissue.
Bicalutamide is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen that is structurally and pharmacologically related to flutamide and nilutamide. Bicalutamide inhibits the action of androgens by competitively blocking nuclear androgen receptors in target tissues such as the prostate, seminal vesicles, and adrenal cortex; blockade of androgen receptors in the hormone-sensitive tumor cells may result in growth arrest or transient tumor regression through inhibition of androgen-dependent DNA and protein synthesis. Bicalutamide is a selective antiandrogen with no androgenic or progestational activity in various animal models. The relative binding affinity of bicalutamide at the androgen receptor is more than that of nilutamide and approximately 4 times that of hydroxyflutamide, the active metabolite of flutamide.

Common pharmacologic therapies for prostate cancer (ie, gonadotropin-releasing hormone [GnRH] analogs, nonsteroidal antiandrogens) when used as monotherapy initially result in increased serum testosterone concentrations, which may limit the effects of the drugs. Androgen receptors in the hypothalamus are blocked by bicalutamide, which disrupts the inhibitory feedback of testosterone on luteinizing hormone (LH) release, resulting in a temporary increase in secretion of LH; the increase in LH stimulates an increase in the production of testosterone. As GnRH analogs have potent GnRH agonist properties, testicular steroidogenesis continues during the first few weeks after initiating therapy. However, the combination of orchiectomy or GnRH analog therapy to suppress testicular androgen production and an antiandrogen to block response of remaining adrenal androgens provides maximal androgen blockade. Concomitant administration of antiandrogens such as bicalutamide in patients initiating therapy with a GnRH analog can inhibit initial androgenic stimulation and potential exacerbation of symptoms (e.g., bone pain, urinary obstruction, liver pain, impending spinal cord compression) that may occur during the first month of GnRH analog therapy.

Bicalutamide was developed from a series of nonsteroidal compounds related to flutamide that showed a range of pharmacologic activity from full androgen agonist to pure antiandrogen, including progestational and antiprogestational properties. Bicalutamide is a pure antiandrogen that binds to rat, dog, and human prostate; the affinity compared with the natural ligand 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone is low, but bicalutamide has an affinity for the rat androgen receptor approximately four times higher than hydroxyflutamide, the active metabolite of flutamide. Bicalutamide also binds to androgen receptors found in the LNCaP human prostate tumor and the Shionogi S115 mouse mammary tumor cell line, as well as androgen receptors transfected into CV-1 and HeLa cells. In all cases, bicalutamide behaves as a pure antiandrogen and inhibits gene expression and cell growth stimulated by androgen. Studies with the LNCaP cell line are particularly interesting, as these cells contain a mutated androgen receptor (codon 868, Thr-->Ala), which behaves idiosyncratically with other antiandrogens (cyproterone acetate and flutamide): both these antiandrogens act as agonists in this cell line and stimulate proliferation. Studies in vivo show that bicalutamide is a potent antiandrogen in the rat. In immature, castrated male rats treated daily with testosterone propionate, bicalutamide produces a profound inhibition of accessory sex organ (ventral prostate and seminal vesicles) growth at oral doses as low as 0.25 mg/kg; it is more active in this test than flutamide or cyproterone acetate. In mature male rats, daily oral doses of bicalutamide produce a dose-related reduction in weights of the ventral prostate glands and seminal vesicles: in this test, bicalutamide is around five times as potent as flutamide. In contrast to flutamide, which produces dose-related, marked increases in serum luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone as a consequence of the central inhibition of the negative feedback effects of androgens on the hypothalamic-pituitary-tests axis, bicalutamide has little effect on serum LH and testosterone; i.e., it is peripherally selective. The peripheral selectivity of bicalutamide in the rat is not due to differences between the prostate versus hypothalamic or pituitary receptors, as bicalutamide reverses the suppressive effect of testosterone on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) secretion from hypothalamic slices in vitro and is as effective as flutamide at sensitizing the pituitary gland to secrete LH in response to administered LHRH. The peripheral selectivity of bicalutamide has now been shown to be due to poor penetration across the blood-brain barrier: tissue distribution studies with [3H]bicalutamide show that although it is concentrated in the organs of metabolism and secretion as well as in the prostate, the pituitary glands, and the seminal vesicles, levels in the hypothalamus and the central nervous system (CNS) are much lower than in blood. Indeed, it is probable that levels found in the CNS reflect levels of blood contamination. In dogs, bicalutamide has exquisite potency and causes dose-related atrophy of the prostate gland and epididymides; with an oral ED50 of 0.1 mg/kg, it is around 50 times as potent as flutamide in this species and also more potent than the steroidal antiandrogen WIN49596 and the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor MK-906. Even at substantial multiples of the active dose (up to 100 mg/kg orally), bicalutamide failed to increase serum testosterone, so it is also peripherally selective in the dog.

Although widely accepted as an androgen receptor antagonist, the mechanism by which it induces apoptosis remains unclear. Defining exact pathways by which bicalutamide induces its apoptotic effects would help to advance its clinical applications. /Investigators/ aimed to examine the apoptotic effects of bicalutamide at 24 hr and comment on the role of the caspases and calpains in mediating bicalutamide-induced apoptosis in androgen-dependent and androgen-independent cells. PWR-1E, PC-3 and DU-145 cells were treated with bicalutamide and assessed for apoptosis by flow cytometry at 24 hr. DU-145 cells were used to compare differences between two different metastatic receptor-negative cells and to verify apoptotic induction at 48 hr. To delineate a specific pathway of action for bicalutamide, PC-3 and PWR-1E cells were pretreated with specific inhibitors of caspase-dependent (zVAD-FMK) and caspase-independent pathways (calpain 2 inhibitor). Bicalutamide induced apoptosis in androgen-dependent PWR-1E cells via a caspase-dependent and calpain-independent mechanism. In androgen-independent PC-3 cells, bicalutamide also induced apoptosis by mechanisms that were partially inhibited by pan-caspase inhibition but were partially calpain dependent. Understanding into how bicalutamide exerts its effects in androgen-independent cells will yield further insights into the treatment of hormone-refractory disease.
