Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Abiraterone is an oral, potent, selective, and irreversible inhibitor of 17α-hydroxylase-C17, 20-lyase (CYP17). Abiraterone is 10- to 30-fold more potent than the nonselective inhibitor ketoconazole.[1] Abiraterone is a potent inhibitor of the CYP17 enzyme with a apparent inhibition constants (Kiapp) of <1 nM. [2] Abiraterone potently blocks cytochrome CYP17, a critical enzyme in testosterone synthesis, thereby blocking androgen synthesis by the adrenal glands, testes and within the prostate tumor. [3] In vitro, abiraterone inhibits adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) -mediated stimulation of adrenal cells. In male WHT mice, administration of the acetylated prodrug form of abiraterone causes a reduction in androgen-dependent organs including the prostate, seminal vesicles, testes and kidneys, and also leads to a marked dose-dependent decrease in circulating testosterone levels. [4] Abiraterone potently inhibits the C17, 20-lyase with an IC50 of 5.8 nM in rat testis microsomes. [5] Abiraterone inhibits CYP17 in human and rat testicular microsomes and in E. coli cells with IC50s of 73, 220 and 54 nM, respectively. [6]
