Abiraterone
Abiratone is an anticancer chemotherapeutic compound that is used to treat castration-resistant prostate cancer. Abiratone inhibits the enzyme Cytochrome p450 17α-hydroxylase (Cyp17), reducing androgen production. This compound may also directly decrease levels of androgen receptor protein expression and inhibit eIF4F signaling.
