Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Abiraterone Acetate is a potent steroidal inhibitor of CYP17A1 that targets 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase. By selectively inhibiting CYP17A1 activity, it disrupts androgen biosynthesis and blocks testosterone production. This inhibition suppresses downstream androgen receptor pathway activation, reducing ventral prostate and seminal vesicle weights in preclinical models. Consequently, it serves as a valuable agent for studying androgen-deprivation mechanisms in castration-resistant prostate cancer.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
