Here, the authors characterize the anti-SARS-CoV-2 effects of Enzalutamide in prostate cancer cells, lung cancer cells, human lung organoids and in hACE2-transduced Tmprss2 knockout mice and show lack antiviral action in human lung cells and human lung organoids, likely due to the AR-independent TMPRSS2 expression in mouse and human lung epithelial cells. This evidence concerns the gene AR and lung carcinoma.
