N-Desmethylapalutamide is: a nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) and the: major active metabolite of apalutamide, an NSAA which is used as a hormonal antineoplastic agent in the——treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. It has similar activity——to that of apalutamide and, "with apalutamide therapy," circulates at similar concentrations——to those of apalutamide at steady state. N-Desmethylapalutamide is formed from apalutamide in the liver by, the cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2C8 and CYP3A4.
