cyproterone-acetate

Description: Cyproterone acetate, an analog of 17-hydroxyprogesterone, is an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist with IC50 of 7.1 nM, as well as a weak progesterone receptor agonist with weak pro-gestational and glucocorticoid activity. It works by blocking androgen receptors which prevents androgens from binding to them and suppresses luteinizing hormone, which in turn reduces testosterone levels. It is primarily used to treat prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, priapism, hypersexuality and other conditions.
