Cyproterone acetate

A summary of the most common chemical descriptors (InChI Key and SMILES codes) for Cyproterone acetate are summarized together with 3D and 2D structures and relevant physico-chemical properties.

What is the Cyproterone acetate?

The molecule Cyproterone acetate presents a molecular formula of C24H29ClO4 and its IUPAC name is [(1S,2S,3S,5R,11R,12S,15R,16S)-15-acetyl-9-chloro-2,16-dimethyl-6-oxo-15-pentacyclo[9.7.0.02,8.03,5.012,16]octadeca-7,9-dienyl] acetate.

Cyproterone acetate is a synthetic progestin and antiandrogen which is used in the treatment of androgen-dependent conditions like acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia in women, and as a component of combined injectable birth control. It was first synthesized in 1963..

Cyproterone acetate works by binding to androgen receptors, thereby preventing androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone from binding and exerting their effects. It also has some progestogenic activity, though this is weaker than that of natural progesterone. In addition, cyproterone acetate has weak antigonadotropic effects..

The most common side effects of cyproterone acetate are weight gain, fluid retention, and depression. Rare but serious side effects include liver toxicity, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Cyproterone acetate is a teratogen and must not be used by women who are pregnant or who could become pregnant..

Cyproterone acetate exists in a number of countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It is not available in Australia..

Other names (synonyms)

IUPAC nomenclature provides a standardized method for naming chemical compounds. Although this system is widely used in chemistry, many chemical compounds have also other names commonly used in different contexts. These synonyms can come from a variety of sources and are used for a variety of purposes.

One common source of synonyms for chemical compounds is the common or trivial names, assigned on the basis of appearance, properties, or origin of the molecule.

Another source of synonyms are historical or obsolete names employed in the past, however replaced nowadays by more modern or standardized names.

In addition to common and historical names, chemical compounds may also have synonyms that are specific to a particular field or industry.

LogP and topological polar surface area (TPSA) values were estimated using Open Babel software.

The n-octanol/water partition coeficient (Kow) data is applied in toxicology and drug research. Kow values are used, to guess the environmental fate of persistent organic pollutants. High partition coefficients values, tend to accumulate in the fatty tissue of organisms. Molecules with a log(Kow) (or LogP) greater than 5 are considered to bioaccumulate.

TPSA values are the sum of the surface area over all polar atoms or molecules, mainly oxygen and nitrogen, also including hydrogen atoms.

In medicinal chemistry, TPSA is used to assess the ability of a drug to permeabilise cells.

For molecules to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (and act on receptors in the central nervous system), TPSA values below 90 Å2 are required. Thus, molecules with a polar surface area greater than 140 Å2 tend to be poorly permeable to cell membranes.
