4.2 Drug Warning

Direct hepatic toxicity, including jaundice, hepatitis and hepatic failure, has been observed in patients treated with Cyprostat. At dosages of 100 mg and above cases with fatal outcome have also been reported. Most reported fatal cases were in men with advanced prostatic cancer. Toxicity is dose-related and develops, usually, several months after treatment has begun. Liver function tests should be performed pre-treatment, regularly during treatment and whenever any symptoms or signs suggestive of hepatotoxicity occur. If hepatotoxicity is confirmed, Cyprostat should be withdrawn, unless the hepatotoxicity can be explained by another cause, eg metastatic disease, in which case Cyprostat should be continued only if the perceived benefit outweighs the risk.

In very rare cases benign and malignant liver tumors, which may lead to life-threatening intra-abdominal hemorrhage, have been observed after the use of Cyprostat. If severe upper abdominal complaints, liver enlargement or signs of intra-abdominal hemorrhage occur, a liver tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

The occurrence of thromboembolic events has been reported in patients using Cyprostat, although a causal relationship has not been established. Patients with previous arterial or venous thrombotic/thromboembolic events (eg deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction), with a history of cerebrovascular accidents or with advanced malignancies are at increased risk of further thromboembolic events, and may be at risk of recurrence of the disease during Cyprostat therapy.

In patients with a history of thromboembolic processes or suffering from sickle-cell anemia or severe diabetes with vascular changes, the risk: benefit ratio must be considered carefully in each individual case before Cyprostat is prescribed.

4.3 Drug Indication

For the palliative treatment of patients with advanced prostatic carcinoma.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Cyproterone is an antiandrogen. It suppresses the actions of testosterone (and its metabolite dihydrotestosterone) on tissues. It acts by blocking androgen receptors which prevents androgens from binding to them and suppresses luteinizing hormone (which in turn reduces testosterone levels).


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Antineoplastic Agents

Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS. (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents.)


Androgen Antagonists

Compounds which inhibit or antagonize the biosynthesis or actions of androgens. (See all compounds classified as Androgen Antagonists.)


Contraceptive Agents, Male

Chemical substances or agents with contraceptive activity in males. Use for male contraceptive agents in general or for which there is no specific heading. (See all compounds classified as Contraceptive Agents, Male.)


5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Completely absorbed following oral administration.


Route of Elimination

It is excreted approximately 60% in the bile and 33% through the kidneys.


Following oral administration, cyproterone acetate is completely absorbed over a wide dose range. The ingestion of two cyproterone acetate 50 mg tablets gives maximum serum levels of about 285 ng/mL at about 3 hours. Thereafter, drug serum levels declined during a time interval of typically 24 to 120 hr, with a terminal half-life of 43.9 +/- 12.8 hr. The total clearance of cyproterone acetate from serum is 3.5 +/- 1.5 mL/min/kg.

The absolute bioavailability of cyproterone acetate is almost complete (88% of dose).

Some drug is excreted unchanged with bile fluid. Most of the dose is excreted in the form of metabolites at a urinary to biliary ratio of 3:7.

Datapharm Communications Ltd; Electronic Medicines Compendium (eMC), Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) for Androcur (Last updated January 2011). Available from, as of March 23, 2011: https://www.medicines.org.uk/EMC/medicine/1808/SPC/Androcur/


Cyproterone acetate is almost exclusively bound to plasma albumin. About 3.5 - 4% of total drug levels are present unbound. Because protein binding is non-specific, changes in SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) levels do not affect the pharmacokinetics of cyproterone acetate.

5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Primarily hepatic. Cyproterone acetate is metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme, forming the active metabolite 15beta-hydroxycyproterone acetate, which retains its antiandrogen activity, but has reduced progestational activity.


Cyproterone acetate is metabolized by various pathways, including hydroxylations and conjugations. The main metabolite in human plasma is the 15beta-hydroxy derivative.

5.5 Biological Half-Life

Elimination Following oral or intramuscular administration, the plasma half-life is 38 and 96 hours, respectively.


The renal and biliary excretion proceeds with a half-life of 1.9 days. Metabolites from plasma are eliminated at a similar rate (half-life of 1.7 days).

5.6 Mechanism of Action

The direct antiandrogenic effect of cyproterone is blockage of the binding of dihydrotestosterone to the specific receptors in the prostatic carcinoma cell. In addition, cyproterone exerts a negative feed-back on the hypothalamo-pituitary axis, by inhibiting the secretion of luteinizing hormone resulting in diminished production of testicular testosterone.


Prostatic carcinoma and its metastases are in general androgen-dependent. Cyproterone acetate exerts a direct anti-androgen action on the tumor and its metastases. It also has progestogenic activity, which exerts a negative feedback effect on the hypothalamic receptors, so leading to a reduction in gonadotrophin release, and hence to diminished production of testicular androgens. Sexual drive and potency are reduced and gonadal function is inhibited.

Cell proliferation and cell death appear in several systems as mutually exclusive, which raises the assumption that a same factor or secondary signal(s) might exert opposite control on the two processes. To test this assumption we investigated the time-course evolution of the S phase and apoptotic indices in rat liver during cyproterone acetate (CPA) induced hyperplasia and during the recovery of normal liver mass provoked, respectively, by cyproterone acetate (CPA) treatment and withdrawal. The levels of c-myc and c-ras transcripts were also followed in view of the indications of a positive role of these oncogenes in proliferation. The data showed that proliferation and cell death are not always mutually exclusive and that a high rate of cell death was indifferently associated with high or low c-ras expression. Our data are consistent with a role of this gene in proliferation but exclude that it plays an opposite role in controlling cell death.

The antigonadotropic effect of cyproterone acetate is also exerted when administered with LHRH analogues. The initial increase of testosterone caused by this class of substances is reduced by cyproterone acetate. An occasional tendency for the prolactin levels to increase slightly has been observed under higher doses of cyproterone acetate.

Dianette blocks androgen-receptors. It also reduces androgen synthesis both by negative feedback effect on the hypothalamo-pituitiary-ovarian systems and by the inhibition of androgen-synthesising enzymes.
