Identification
- Summary
Abiraterone is an antiandrogen used in the treatment of prostate cancer.
- Brand Names
- Yonsa, Zytiga
- Generic Name
- Abiraterone
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB05812
- Background
Abiraterone is a derivative of steroidal progesterone and is an innovative drug that offers clinical benefit to patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer. Abiraterone is administered as an acetate salt prodrug because it has a higher bioavailability and less susceptible to hydrolysis than abiraterone itself. FDA approved on April 28, 2011.

- Contraindications & Blackbox Warnings
Avoid life-threatening adverse drug eventsImprove clinical decision support with information on contraindications & blackbox warnings, population restrictions, harmful risks, & more.Avoid life-threatening adverse drug events & improve clinical decision support.- Pharmacodynamics
Abiraterone is associated with decreases in PSA levels, tumor shrinkage (as evaluated by RECIST criteria), radiographic regression of bone metastases and improvement in pain. Levels of adrenocorticotropic hormones increased up to 6-fold but this can be suppressed by dexamethasone.
- Mechanism of action
Abiraterone is an orally active inhibitor of the steroidal enzyme CYP17A1 (17 alpha-hydroxylase/C17,20 lyase). It inhibits CYP17A1 in a selective and irreversible manner via covalent binding mechanism. CYP17A1 is an enzyme that catalyzes the biosynthesis of androgen and is highly expressed in testicular, adrenal, and prostatic tumor tissue. More specifically, abiraterone inhibits the conversion of 17-hydroxyprognenolone to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) by the enzyme CYP17A1 to decrease serum levels of testosterone and other androgens.
Target Actions Organism ASteroid 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase inhibitorHumans - Absorption
Abiraterone itself is poorly absorbed and is susceptible to hydrolysis by esterases. The salt form, abiraterone acetate, is a prodrug which has a much higher oral bioavailability and is also esterase resistant. Peak drug concentrations of abiraterone were reached in 1.5 - 4 hours. Abiraterone acetate was rapidly and completely deacetylated into abiraterone-the parent salt form was not detectable in early pharmacokinetic studies. Food and high fat meals increases absorption 4.4-fold.
- Volume of distribution
Vdss= 19,669 ± 13,358 L
- Protein binding
>99% protein bound to alpha-1-acid glycoprotein and albumin.
- Metabolism
Abiraterone acetate is hydrolyzed into active metabolite abiraterone via esterases. CYP3A4 and SULT2A1 further metabolizes abiraterone into two inactive metabolites called abiraterone sulfate and N-oxide abiraterone sulfate.

Improve decision support & research outcomesWith structured adverse effects data, including: blackbox warnings, adverse reactions, warning & precautions, & incidence rates.Improve decision support & research outcomes with our structured adverse effects data.- Toxicity
Toxicity is related to the blockade of 17α-hydroxylase activity. Blockade results in the accumulation of upstream mineralocorticoids like 11-deoxycorticosterone leading to secondary hyperaldosteronism. Signs of hydroaldosteronism include fluid retention and hypokalemia. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists may be used to treat signs and symptoms.

- Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. This herb induces CYP3A4 and may increase the serum levels of abiraterone.
- Take on an empty stomach. Take at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating as food may increase exposure to abiraterone by 4-fold.
