Tương tác
Increased risk of hypokalaemia w/ K-lowering drugs (e.g. thiazide diuretics). Risk of tumour progression w/ spironolactone. Decreased exposure w/ strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampicin). Increased plasma concentration w/ potent CYP3A4 inhibitors e.g. ketoconazole. Increased risk of QT prolongation w/ antiarrhythmics (e.g. quinidine, amiodarone), antipsychotics, moxifloxacin, methadone. May increase exposure to drugs that are metabolised or activated by CYP2D6 (e. g. desipramine, venlafaxine, metoprolol), esp those w/ narrow therapeutic index.

Tương tác với thức ăn
Increased absorption w/ food. Decreased absorption w/ St John’s wort. Increased plasma concentration w/ grapefruit or grapefruit juice.

Tác dụng
Description: Abiraterone suppresses testosterone production through selective and irreversible inhibition of 17 α-hydroxylase/C17, 20-lyase (CYP17), an enzyme required for androgen biosynthesis in testicular, adrenal, and prostatic tumour tissues.
Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Increased absorption w/ food. Time to peak plasma concentration: Approx 2 hr. Distribution: Plasma protein binding: >99%, to albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein. Metabolism: Metabolised in the liver via hydroxylation, oxidation, and sulfation by CYP3A4 and sulfotransferase (SULT2A1) enzymes, forming 2 major inactive metabolites, abiraterone sulfate and N-oxide abiraterone sulfate. Excretion: Via faeces (88%) and urine (approx 5%). Terminal elimination half-life: Approx 15 hr. |
