Darolutamide (INN) (developmental code names ODM-201, BAY-1841788) is a non-steroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) – specifically, a selective high affinity silent antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR) – that is under development by Orion and Bayer HealthCare[1] for the treatment of advanced, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).[3][4]

Pharmacology[edit]
Relative to enzalutamide (MDV3100 or Xtandi) and apalutamide (ARN-509), two other recent NSAAs, darolutamide shows some advantages.[4] Darolutamide appears to negligibly cross the blood-brain-barrier.[4] This is beneficial due to the reduced risk of seizures and other central side effects from off-target GABAA receptor inhibition that tends to occur in NSAAs that are structurally similar to enzalutamide.[4] Moreover, in accordance with its lack of central penetration, darolutamide does not seem to increase testosterone levels in mice or humans, unlike other NSAAs.[4] Another advantage is that darolutamide has been found to block the activity of all tested/well-known mutant ARs in prostate cancer, including the recently identified clinically-relevant F876L mutation that produces resistance to enzalutamide and apalutamide.[4] Finally, darolutamide shows higher affinity and inhibitory efficacy at the AR (Ki = 11 nM relative to 86 nM for enzalutamide and 93 nM for apalutamide; IC50 = 26 nM relative to 219 nM for enzalutamide and 200 nM for apalutamide) and greater potency/efficaciousness in non-clinical models of prostate cancer.[4]
ORM-15341 is the main active metabolite of darolutamide.[4] It is a full antagonist of the AR similarly, with an affinity (Ki) of 8 nM and an IC50 of 38 nM.[4]
Unlike enzalutamide and apalutamide, darolutamide shows no inhibition or induction of cytochrome P450 enzymes at therapeutic concentrations.[5]
Pharmacokinetics[edit]
The mean terminal half-lives of darolutamide and its active metabolite ORM-15341 at steady-state are 15.8 hours and 10.0 hours, respectively.[1] The half-lives are independent of dosage with 200–1800 mg/day dosages of darolutamide.[1] The half-life of darolutamide is far shorter than that of enzalutamide (1.6 hours and 18.3 hours in mice, respectively), necessitating higher dosages and more frequent administration in the case of darolutamide.[6]
Chemistry[edit]
Darolutamide is structurally distinct from any other known or established antiandrogens, including enzalutamide and apalutamide.[6]
Clinical trials[edit]
Darolutamide has been studied in phase I and phase II clinical trials and has thus far been found to be effective and well-tolerated,[7] with the most commonly reported side effects including fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea.[8][9] No seizures have been observed.[9][10] As of June 2016, darolutamide is in phase III trials for CRPC.[4][11]
