Only 1% of RU58841 gets metabolized into the active compound, so 5% RU58841 is only .05% of the active compound. Saying that 2% Fluridil is a weaker concentration than 5% RU58841 is faulty.
He's starting from the premise that mg for mg RU is more potent. Neither one is potent, they are both metabolized into the active form, but a greater amount of flutamide gets metabolized into hydroxyflutamide than does RU58841 into cyanonilutamide. You're getting more of the active metabolite with 2% flutamide than you are with 5% RU.
I'm confused. Fluridil, AFAIK is already in its active form, but breaks down into inactive forms into the bloodstream.
Why are we talking about flutamide (an entirely different compound) here?
