Application
Abiraterone is a CYP17 inhibitor used in combination with prednisone to treat prostate cancer patients who have received docetaxel chemotherapy metastasis. Abiraterone acetate is a precursor drug chemicalbook, which can be transformed into abiraterone after entering the body. The latter is an androgen biosynthesis inhibitor, which exerts its curative effect by inhibiting the activity of CYP17 enzyme and androgen biosynthesis.
