Pharmacodynamics
It is the CYP17 enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the androgens. These increased androgen levels furthermore influence the uncontrollable cell proliferation in the prostate gland. Bdron inhibits this CYP17 enzyme which consequently blocks the production of androgens. As a result, this medication stops the uncontrollable cell division and spreading of the tumor cells.
