RU-56187 is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen which was never marketed.[1][2][3][4][5] It shows 92% of the affinity of testosterone for the androgen receptor and negligible affinity for other steroid hormone receptors.[1][2] The medication is a silent antagonist of the androgen receptor.[5] RU-56187 is 3- to 10-fold more potent as an antiandrogen than bicalutamide or nilutamide in animals.[1] Both RU-56187 and RU-58841 appear to be prodrugs of cyanonilutamide (RU-56279) in vivo in animals.[3]

  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.
