Masofaniten, also known by its developmental code name EPI-7386, is an N-terminal domain antiandrogen, or antagonist of the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the androgen receptor (AR), which is under development for the treatment of prostate cancer.[1][2][3] The compound was developed as a successor of previous drugs in the EPI series such as EPI-001, ralaniten (EPI-002), and ralaniten acetate (EPI-506).[1][2][3] Masofaniten shows 20-fold higher antiandrogenic potency than ralaniten in vitro (IC50Tooltip Half-maximal inhibitory concentration = 535 nM vs. 9,580 nM, respectively), as well as greater stability in human hepatocytes.[1][2][3] It was planned to enter phase I clinical trials in 2020.[3] Preliminary results of a phase I/II clinical trial were published in 2023.[4][5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
