Description

Abiraterone is an anti-cancer drug that has been shown to be effective in treating prostate cancer. It works by blocking the production of testosterone by inhibiting androgen synthesis. Abiraterone does this by inhibiting CYP17A1, which converts cholesterol into pregnenolone, and then into progesterone and testosterone. Furthermore, it binds to the enzyme steroid 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Abiraterone is usually a last resort for patients who have stopped responding to other lines of hormone therapies, which is known as second-line therapy.

Abiraterone is part of our Bio-X ™ Range. These products are aimed at life science researchers who need high quality ready-to-use products for assay development, screening or other R&D work. With a solubility datasheet and convenient vials, all of our Bio-X ™ products are in stock across our global warehouses for rapid delivery and ease of use.
