Erlamide 60mg Tablet belongs to the class of selective androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor that binds to the androgen receptor binding domain. The growth of prostate cancer relies on the sex hormone androgen. Cancer becomes resistant to standard hormonal therapies, due to which androgen receptor binds continuously to promote cancer growth. Erlamide 60mg Tablet blocks the signaling pathway, DNA binding, protein transportation in the nucleus, and AR-mediated transcription, which leads to the replication of the cancer cells. Erlamide 60mg Tablet blocks receptor activation and suppresses them from binding to androgen. In that way, it slows down the growth of the cancer cells.
