Prostatic Neoplasms (Prostate Cancer) 10/01/1999 - "These results suggest that VN/85-1 and VN/87-1 may be potential candidates for treatment of prostate cancer." 10/01/2004 - "These results indicate that VN/85-1 or VN/87-1 may be useful in the treatment of hormone-dependent prostate cancer." 10/01/1999 - "We designed and evaluated two groups of azolyl steroids: delta5-non-competitive inhibitors (delta5NCIs), VN/63-1, VN/85-1, VN/87-1 and their corresponding delta4 derivatives (delta4NCIs), VN/107-1, VN/108-1 and VN/109-1. The human P450c17 gene was transfected into LNCaP human prostate cancer cells, and the resultant LNCaP-CYP17 cells were utilized to evaluate the inhibitory potency of the new azolyl steroids. " 10/01/2004 - "However, at their effective dosage regimes, VN/85-1 and VN/87-1 were each as effective as castration and more effective than finasteride or casodex, an anti-androgen used for prostate cancer (PC) therapy. "
2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 10/01/1999 - "In this model VN/85-1 was as effective as finasteride at inhibiting tumor growth (26% and 28% inhibition, respectively) and the inhibitory effect of VN/87-1 was similar to that of castration (33% and 36% inhibition respectively). "
