Masofaniten

(Redirected from EPI-7386)

Masofaniten, also known by its developmental code name EPI-7386, is an N-terminal domain antiandrogen, or antagonist of the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the androgen receptor (AR), which is under development for the treatment of prostate cancer.[1][2][3] The compound was developed as a successor of previous drugs in the EPI series such as EPI-001, ralaniten (EPI-002), and ralaniten acetate (EPI-506).[1][2][3] Masofaniten shows 20-fold higher antiandrogenic potency than ralaniten in vitro (IC50Tooltip Half-maximal inhibitory concentration = 535 nM vs. 9,580 nM, respectively), as well as greater stability in human hepatocytes.[1][2][3] It was planned to enter phase I clinical trials in 2020.[3] Preliminary results of a phase I/II clinical trial were published in 2023.[4][5]
