Definition 1
Substances that inhibit or antagonize the biosynthesis or biologic effects of androgens by either antagonizing the responsiveness of androgen sensitive tissues or competing with their binding sites. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
A substance that prevents cells from making or using androgens (hormones that play a role in the formation of male sex characteristics). Antiandrogens may stop some cancer cells from growing. Some antiandrogens are used to treat prostate cancer, and others are being studied for this use. An antiandrogen is a type of hormone antagonist. (NCI Dictionary)
