Bicalutamide | Casodex | Hormone - Anti-androgens 54 | Casodex (bicalutamide) is an androgen-receptor antagonist that binds androgen receptors and inhibits androgen binding, therefore inhibits AR-dependent growth of tumor cells (PMID: 9428389). Casodex (bicalutamide) is approved, in combination with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analog, for metastatic carcinoma of the prostate (FDA.gov). | |
HSV-Tk | Nalotimagene carmaleucel | HSV-Tk (Nalotimagene carmaleucel) is a gene therapy encoding the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk), which when introduced together with ganciclovir (GCV), converts GCV to a potent cytotoxic drug that disrupts DNA replication and leads to cell death (PMID: 17327829). | ||
Leuprolide | Lupron | Leuprorelin | Lupron (leuprolide) is an agonist of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), which results decreased testosterone production in males and decreased estradiol production in females, potentially leading to decreased growth of androgen-positive tumors (NCI Drug Dictionary). | |
Valacyclovir | Valtrex | Acicloftal | Valacyclovir is the prodrug of acyclovir, which is an antiviral agent that functions by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
