Drug Overview
Zytiga (abiraterone acetate; Johnson & Johnson/AstraZeneca) is a small molecule oral irreversible inhibitor of the 17 alpha-hydroxylase enzyme which catalyzes the hydroxylation of intermediates involved in testosterone synthesis. Prostate cancer cell growth is commonly driven by hormones, and as Zytiga inhibits the rate-limiting enzyme in androgen synthesis, it blocks testosterone production activity in the testes, adrenal glands, and prostate, while preserving adrenal sufficiency.
