Description

Cyproterone acetate is a steroid drug which was developed by Schering A.G (now Bayer). Cyproterone acetate was approved in Canada, Asia, Latin America and Europe for the treatment of sever acne under the name Diane-35 (ethinyl estradiol) and its mechanism of action in this condition is explained by competitive inhibition of androgen receptor AR. In Canada cyproterone acetate is widely used as a contraceptive, however its usage is associated with liver toxicity and clots formation. In the UK the drug is marketed for the treatment of prostate cancer (Cyproterone acetate brand name).

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Acne: 1 tablet containing 2 mg cyproterone acetate and 0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol is taken daily for 21 consecutive days beginning on day 1 of the menstrual cycle. The tablets are then discontinued for 7 days and the cycle repeats. Prostatic cancer: the usual dose range is from 1 tablet once a day (100mg) up to 1 tablet three times a day (300mg).
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Primary explants (approx. 1 mm3) of prostate tissue from patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated with 10 nM dihydrotestosterone, 50 pM diethylstilbestrol and 100 nM cyproterone acetate to test steroids action on oxytocin secretion.
