Applications
Cyproterone acetate is a metabolism inhibitor that can be studied extensively for its potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of conditions related to excessive androgen levels, such as prostate cancer, hirsutism, and severe acne. It blocks the effects of androgens by binding to androgen receptors.
Storage
Store at -20ºC, and keep desiccated.
