The drug disrupts the function of molecules found within cells, called androgen receptors, which help to transmit messages from androgens that tell cells to divide and grow.

Mechanisms behind the consequences of castration resulting in endogenous androgen withdrawal were explained by effects on NO production, which is higher if testosterone is absent, and the endothelin B receptor, which may be directly influenced by testosterone and causes vasoconstriction.

This preclinical work led to the development of a novel anti-androgen ARN - 509, a small - molecule inhibitor discovered in collaboration with UCLA chemist Michael Jung, which targets the increased levels of androgen receptor found in hormone - refractory disease.

LCLT also increases androgen receptors in the muscle cells, which means more testosterone is recruited to build muscle.

Low levels of 5α - DHT are indicative of over-inhibition of 5α - reductase (5AR), the enzyme that converts testosterone to 5α - DHT, which is ~ 2 - 3 times as potent as testosterone due to 5α - DHT's greater affinity for androgen receptors.15
