Relugolix

Relugolix (TAK-385)?is a potent, orally active, nonpeptidic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. Relugolix possesses high affinity and potent antagonistic activity for human receptor (binding IC50=0.33 nM) and monkey receptor (IC50=0.32 nM) compared with TAK-013 (HY-100209)[1]. Relugolix is used for the study of sex-hormone-dependent diseases, such as including endometriosis, uterine fibroids and prostate cancer et al[2].
