What is Abiraterone Acetate ?
Abiraterone acetate is a potent steroidogenesis inhibitor specifically designed to target and block an enzyme called CYP17, which is crucial in the production of androgens. This mechanism makes it effective in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer by significantly reducing androgen levels, which can promote the growth of cancer cells. Administered orally, it is typically used in combination with prednisone to mitigate its side effects and enhance patient outcomes.
