Benzonitrile, 4-(2-hydroxycyclohexyl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)-

(rac)-PF-998425 is a potent, selective, nonsteroidal androgen receptor (AR) antagonist. (rac)-PF-998425 has IC50 values of 26 and 90 nM in the AR binding and cellular assays, respectively. (rac)-PF-998425 has the potential for the research of the androgenetic alopecia[1].
