    Product Description

    Abiraterone is an inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP17A1 (IC50s = 0.0029 and 0.004 µM for the 17,20-lyase and 17α-hydroxylase activities, respectively) and active metabolite of abiraterone acetate (Item No. 15148).1,2 It is formed from abiraterone acetate by arylacetamide deacetylase.3 Abiraterone is selective for CYP17A1 over aromatase and 5α-reductase (IC50s = >20 and >50 µM, respectively).1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
