Cyproterone (INN) (developmental code names SH-80881, SH-881), also known as 1,2α-methylene-6-chloro-δ⁶-17α-hydroxyprogesterone is a steroidal, pure antiandrogen that was studied in the mid to late 1960s and early 1970s but was never marketed for medical use.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is the free alcohol or non-17α-acetylated analogue of cyproterone acetate (CPA), an antiandrogen, progestin, and antigonadotropin that was introduced instead and is widely used clinically.^[1]^[2] Along with benorterone, BOMT, and flutamide, cyproterone was one of the first pure antiandrogens to be developed.^[4]

It is important to clarify that the term cyproterone is often used as a synonym for cyproterone acetate, and when the term occurs, what is usually being referred to is, confusingly, CPA and not actually cyproterone.

Pharmacology

Antiandrogen

Like CPA, cyproterone is a potent antiandrogen.^[5]^[6] However, it has approximately three-fold lower potency as an antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR) relative to CPA.^[6] Similarly to CPA, cyproterone is actually a weak partial agonist of the AR, and hence has the potential for both antiandrogenic and androgenic activity in some contexts.^[7] Unlike CPA (which is an extremely potent progestogen), cyproterone is a pure antiandrogen^[3] and is virtually devoid of progestogenic activity.^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11] As such, it is not an antigonadotropin, and is actually progonadotropic in males, increasing gonadotropin and testosterone levels due to inhibition of AR-mediated negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.^[5]^[11]^[12]

Due to its progonadotropic effects in males, unlike CPA, cyproterone has been found, in male rodents, to increase testicular weight, increase the total number of type A spermatogonia, increase the total number of Sertoli cells,^[13] hyperstimulate the Leydig cells, and to have almost no effect on spermatogenesis. Conversely, it has also been reported for male rodents that spermiogenesis is inhibited and that accessory sexual gland weights (e.g., prostate gland, seminal vesicles) and fertility were markedly reduced, although with rapid recovery from the changes upon cessation of treatment.^[12] In any case, the drug is said to not be an effective antispermatogenic agent, whereas CPA is effective.^[14] Also unlike CPA, due to its lack of progestogenic and antigonadotropic activity, cyproterone does not suppress ovulation in women.^[3]^[15]

Other actions

Both CPA and, to a smaller extent, cyproterone possess some weak glucocorticoid activity and suppress adrenal gland and spleen weight in animals, with CPA having about one-fifth the potency of prednisone in mice.^[8]^[16] Conversely, unlike CPA, cyproterone shows no affinity for opioid receptors.^[17] Also unlike CPA, cyproterone seems to show some inhibition of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α-reductase in vitro.^[6]

Clinical studies

In clinical studies, cyproterone was found to be far less potent and effective as an antiandrogen relative to CPA, likely in significant part due to its lack of concomitant antigonadotropic action.^[3] Cyproterone was studied as a treatment for precocious puberty by Bierich (1970, 1971), but no significant improvement was observed.^[18] In men, 100 mg/day cyproterone proved to be rather ineffective in treating acne, which was hypothesized to be related to its progonadotropic effects in males and counteraction of its antiandrogen activity.^[3]^[19] In women however, in whom the drug has no progonadotropic activity, 100–200 mg/day oral cyproterone was effective in reducing sebum production in all patients as early as 2–4 weeks following the start of treatment.^[3] In contrast, topical cyproterone was far less effective and barely outperformed placebo.^[3] In addition, another study showed disappointing results with 100 mg/day cyproterone for reducing sebum production in women with hyperandrogenism.^[3] Similarly, the drug showed disappointing results in the treatment of hirsutism, with a distinct hair reduction occurring in only a limited percentage of cases.^[3] In the same study, the reduction of acne was better, but clearly inferior to that produced by CPA, and only the improvement in seborrhea was regarded as satisfactory.^[3] The addition of an oral contraceptive to cyproterone resulted in a somewhat better improvement in acne and seborrhea relative to cyproterone alone.^[3] According to Jacobs (1979), “[cyproterone] proved to be without clinical value for reasons that cannot be discussed here.”^[20] In any case, cyproterone has been well-tolerated by patients in dosages of up to 300 mg/day.^[3]

History

Cyproterone, along with CPA, was first patented in 1962,^[21] with subsequent patents in 1963 and 1965.^[1]

The progestational effect [of CPA] is linked to the presence of the acetyl group at position C17 of the steroid. Consequently, the free alcohol of CPA, cyproterone, which lacks the acetyl group, is devoid of progestational properties. However, it still exerts antiandrogenic activity, although less pronounced than CPA. Consequently, cyproterone was the first compound falling into the nowadays well-known class of pure antiandrogens.

The only chemical difference between cyproterone and cyproterone acetate consists of a free or esterified hydroxyl group at C17 but this difference accounts for profound differences in the mechanism of action and possibilities for use in the intact organism. Both steroids are highly active antiandrogens at any route of administration, the acetate has a greater antiandrogenic potency than the free alcohol. With the exception of a slight depressive effect on the adrenals, cyproterone does not have other side-activities unrelated to antiandrogenicity. It has, therefore, been termed "pure antiandrogen". Cyproterone acetate has one major additional activity: it is one of the strongest gestagens that have ever been synthesized [23, 70, 32, 77], [...]

Contrary to benorterone, free cyproterone, and flutamide, CPA is not a pure anti- androgen.

Cyproterone acetate is 250 and 3330 times as potent a progestational agent as progesterone and cyproterone alcohol (10< respectively (Clauberg assay). [...] The pure anti-androgens, such as cyproteron, block the receptors of the negative feedback system. An uninhibited secretion of the releasing factors and an increased production of gonadotropins results, so that the inhibitory effect on the endorgans may finally be overcome by overpoduction of testosterone (Neumann, 1971). Cyproterone acetate, however, with its marked progestational effect, inhibits the release of LH and FSH at the same time and thus has a lasting anti-androgenic effect (Neumann, 1970). Thus, cyproteron leads to an increase in LH, whereas cyproteron acetate inhibits both LH and FSH.

In the late sixties benorterone was reported to give promising results in 93 androgenized women but was soon withdrawn from clinical trial, mainly because of the development of gynaecomastia in the male. As a big advantage compared with CPA, it was found to be effective not only orally but also topically. Free cyproterone, on the other hand, proved to be without clinical value for reasons that cannot be discussed here. Thus we are left with CPA as the only anti-androgen that is already on the market in several countries.

An uninhibited secretion of the releasing factors and an increased production of gonadotropins results, so that the inhibitory effect on the endorgans may finally be overcome by overpoduction of testosterone (Neumann, 1971). Cyproterone acetate, however, with its marked progestational effect, inhibits the release of LH and FSH at the same time and thus has a lasting anti-androgenic effect (Neumann, 1970). Thus, cyproteron leads to an increase in LH, whereas cyproteron acetate inhibits both LH and FSH.

ISSN 0362-1642. doi:10.1146/annurev.pa.18.040178.001123. Cyproterone (6-chloro-17a-hydroxy-1a,2a-methylene-pregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione) and cyproterone acetate have received considerable attention as antispermatogenic substances. Cyproterone, which has·only weak antigonadotropic properties, was found to be a poor antispermatogenic agent (42). In contrast, cyproterone acetate, which inhibits gonadotropin secretion, was found to be an antispermatogenic agent (142).

In the late sixties benorterone was reported to give promising results in 93 androgenized women but was soon withdrawn from clinical trial, mainly because of the development of gynaecomastia in the male. As a big advantage compared with CPA, it was found to be effective not only orally but also topically. Free cyproterone, on the other hand, proved to be without clinical value for reasons that cannot be discussed here. Thus we are left with CPA as the only anti-androgen that is already on the market in several countries.
