A type of steroidal enzyme inhibitor CYP17A1 (17 alpha-hydroxylase/C17,20 lyase) is known as abirateron acetate which is an orally active and It interefere with CYP17A1 in a selective and invariable manner through covalent binding mechanism. An enzyme CYP17A1 which catalyzes the biosynthesis of androgen and is highly expressed in testicular, adrenal, and prostatic tumor tissue. Particularily , abiraterone prevents the conversion of 17-hydroxyprognenolone to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) by the enzyme CYP17A1 to reduce serum levels of testosterone and other androgens.Drug Interaction
→ Effects of Abiraterone on drug metabolizing enzymesAbiraterone is a hepatic drug-metabolizing inhibitor CYP2D6, when substrates (dextromethorphan) of it is co administrated with Abiraterone will increases the Cmax and AUC dextromethorphan.
→ Drugs that inhibits or induce CYP3A4
