Indenza contains Enzalutamide, a potent androgen receptor inhibitor used in the treatment of advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. It works by blocking the effect of male hormones (androgens) that stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells.
This medicine is a trusted generic alternative to Xtandi, offering clinically proven efficacy at a more affordable cost.
Therapeutic Indications
Indenza (Enzalutamide) is prescribed for:
Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)
Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mHSPC) — in combination therapy
Cases where cancer continues to progress despite androgen deprivation treatment
Mechanism of Action
Enzalutamide selectively binds to androgen receptors, preventing their activation and nuclear translocation. This process blocks androgen-driven gene expression and inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Unlike earlier antiandrogens, Indenza shows no agonistic activity at the receptor level, ensuring more consistent therapeutic outcomes.
