Cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate is a synthetic steroidal antiandrogen that binds and antagonizes the androgen receptor, inhibiting testosterone-sensitive cell growth. Its progestational activity suppresses pituitary LH secretion, lowering testicular androgen production. It is used in research on prostate cancer, androgen-dependent disorders, and endocrine mechanisms in both in vitro and in vivo models.
