QUICK LINKS

Cyproterone acetate has antagonistic properties towards the androgen receptor (IC50 = 7.1 nM). It can however, also act as a partial agonist of AR (EC50 = 4.0 μM). In the presence of 10 nM testosterone, low concentrations of cyproterone acetate inhibit T-stimulated transcription of 3XHRE-LUC, but at higher concentrations, transcription is stimulated. Cyproterone Acetate is also a hepatomitogen and tumor promoter and induces apoptosis in hepatocytes.
