- W2056569366 abstract "In order to assess the androgenic activity of synthetic progestins currently used as antiandrogens for the treatment of prostate cancer in men, the effect of a series of these compounds has been measured following 14 days of treatment of adult castrated rats on specific and sensitive parameters of androgenic activity, namely ventral prostate weight and prostatic ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is almost equipotent with 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a 49% increase in prostatic weight being observed at the low dose of 0.15 mg, twice daily (P less than 0.01). Megestrol acetate (Megace), chlormadinone acetate (CMA) and spironolactone were less potent but caused a 36-59% increase in prostatic weight at the highest dose used, namely 10 mg. At the 5 mg dose, cyproterone acetate (CPA) caused a 75% increase in prostatic weight. The androgenic activity of the compounds is even more clearly illustrated by their marked stimulatory effect on prostatic ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity. MPA, at the low dose of 0.15 mg, caused a 20-fold increase (relative to the effect of placebo) in the activity of the enzyme while the same dose of DHT caused a 15-fold stimulation of enzymatic activity. At the 10 mg dose, megestrol acetate, CMA and spironolactone caused 13.1, 11.8 and 8.6-fold stimulations of ODC activity, respectively. Flutamide, on the other hand, had no stimulatory effect on either ventral prostate weight or prostatic ODC activity. In agreement with glucocorticoid activity, MPA, megestrol acetate and CMA caused a marked inhibition (45-64%) of adrenal weight. The present data show that MPA is a highly potent androgen while megestrol acetate, CMA, CPA and spironolactone have lower but significant androgenic activity on all the parameters measured. It should be added that MPA, megestrol acetate and CMA are completely devoid of antiandrogenic activity while spironolactone shows weak antiandrogen action and CPA is a mixed agonist-antagonist. Flutamide, the compound used as reference, is the only compound devoid of any androgenic action and is thus acting as a pure antiandrogen on both ventral prostate weight and prostatic ODC activity. The present data have major implications for the choice of drug to be used for the treatment of androgen-sensitive diseases, especially prostate cancer. As shown by the present data, the synthetic progestins so-far available all possess variable levels of androgenic activity and are thus not recommended for the treatment of prostate cancer." @default.
