Product Description:
Abiraterone Acetate is a pharmaceutical compound that belongs to the class of drugs as androgen biosynthesis inhibitors. It is a white to off-white, crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C26H33NO2 and a molecular weight of 391.55 g/mol. Abiraterone Acetate is primarily available in the form of oral tablets.
Function:
Abiraterone Acetate is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme CYP17A1, which plays a crucial role in the synthesis of androgens (male sex hormones). By inhibiting CYP17A1, Abiraterone Acetate effectively reduces the production of androgens in the body, including those produced by the adrenal glands and the prostate tumor itself. This inhibition is clinically significant in the treatment of prostate cancer, as it helps to suppress the growth and spread of the tumor.
Application:
Abiraterone Acetate is primarily used in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that has progressed after prior chemotherapy or in patients who are not eligible for chemotherapy. Abiraterone Acetate has demonstrated significant clinical benefits, including improvements in overall survival and quality of life, making it an important therapeutic option for patients with advanced prostate cancer.
