Pharmacology
Relugolix is a nonpeptide GnRH receptor antagonist that competitively binds to pituitary GnRH receptors, reducing the release of LH and FSH and consequently suppressing testosterone to castrate levels.
Fluciclovine F 18 is a synthetic amino acid analog transported across mammalian cell membranes by amino acid transporters (LAT-1 and ASCT2) that are upregulated in prostate cancer cells, resulting in greater uptake in prostate cancer cells compared with surrounding normal tissues.
