The treatment of advanced-stage prostate cancer has been androgen deprivation. 2014 May-Jun;16(3):387-400. doi: 10.4103/1008-682X.129133.Curr Opin Oncol. Conversely, taxanes, owing to their different mechanism of action, are able to overcome several mechanisms of resistance to androgen-signaling–targeted inhibitors, such as … 2020 Jul 29;15:5333-5344. doi: 10.2147/IJN.S258856. MECHANISM OF ACTION: Abiraterone acetate is converted, in vivo, to abiraterone, which selectively inhibits the CYP17 enzyme in testicular, adrenal and prostate tumour tissues. However, during the past month he has developed increased skeletal pain, rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and new visceral metastases detected on CT scan. Mr Jones consults his oncologist about treatment options and receives a recommendation to change treatment to ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. A study in humans has shown that repeated treatment of men with intact gonadal function with abiraterone acetate can successfully suppress testosterone levels to the castrate range, although this level of suppression may not be sustained in all patients due to compensatory hypersecretion of LH.Androgen deprivation is the mainstay of treatment to reduce bone pain and temporarily retard the growth of established PCa bone metastatic disease. CYP17 enzyme inhibition reduces the conversion of pregnenolone and progesterone into testosterone precursors, DHEA and androstenedione. Unable to load your collection due to an error Abiraterone is an irreversible inhibitor of CYP17A1. One such agent is abiraterone acetate, which significantly reduces androgen production by blocking the enzyme, cytochrome P450 17 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP17).

Cyril Confavreux, in Another way to achieve androgen deprivation consists of the inhibition of the early stages of androgen biosynthesis. In the randomized phase-III AFFIRM study, compared with placebo, enzalutamide significantly improved OS (primary end point) and time to first SREs (secondary end point) in chemotherapy-treated men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (HR = 0.63; However, despite approval of abiraterone and enzalutamide in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, virtually all patients eventually acquire secondary resistance. Epub 2019 Dec 20.Cancers (Basel). Dove Medical Press Abiraterone selectively inhibits androgen biosynthesis in the adrenal glands, prostate tissue, and prostatic tumours by irreversibly blocking CYP17, which is involved in the production of testosterone.Recently, it has been demonstrated in mice and patients with PCa that abiraterone was converted into a more active metabolite ΔAnother promising inhibitor is the androgen receptor antagonist enzalutamide. This is particularly so in cases where castration-resistance does not depend on androgen activity. Although their mechanisms of action differ, both abiraterone and enzalutamide target persistent androgen receptor (AR) signaling.
