Merck, PHR1678-1G, Bicalutamide

General description
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards. Bicalutamide is a non-steroidal peripheral androgen receptor inhibitor. Its mode of action involves inhibiting androgen by binding to cytosol androgen receptors in the target tissue.
Application
These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.
Bicalutamide may be used as a pharmaceutical reference standard for the determination of the analyte by high performance liquid chromatography and UV spectrophotometry.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Bicalutamide (CDX) is a non-steriodal Androgen Receptor (AR) Antagonist and a pure antiandrogen.
Bicalutamide (CDX) is a non-steriodal Androgen Receptor (AR) antagonist and a pure antiandrogen. It acts via balancing histone acetylation/deacetylation and recruitment of coregulators. Bicalutamide (CDX) abolishes androgen-mediated expression. For example, MMP13 upregulation in prostate cancer, PLZF (promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger protein), and GADD45γ (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible, gamma). Bicalutamide (CDX) is inhibited by non-genomic, transcription-independent stimulation of PI3K/AKT phosphorylation by androgens.
Analysis Note
These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP and EP primary standards, where they are available.
