Product Information

• Synonyms: CB 7598(3b)-17-(3-Pyridinyl)androsta-5,16-dien-3-ol
• Brand: Biosynth
• 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.
