FOREWORD The Easy Book of Cancer Pharmacology is a practical and updated guide to the antitumor drugs. The chapters of the book explain the general data of each drug used as an antineoplastic in a very simple way. The book is easy to understand and allows an immediate knowledge about the details of each drug and a prompt diagnosis of the side effects and their management. The editor and author, Dr. Esther Una Cidon, is a competent and brilliant medical oncologist, trained in Spain, and with who I have been honoured to work for a few years at the Clinical University Hospital of Valladolid. She is notorious for her strong clinical experience, continuous updating and scientific rigor. Her professional activity extends to clinical research and, as this book shows, teaching. The book is primarily aimed at residents and registrars in oncology, specialist in oncology nurse practitioners, young consultants in oncology and cancer clinical pharmacologists, and provides them with valuable information. Due to its facility and accuracy, this guide will be an essential tool for the target audience as it incorporates the latest news and updates in the dynamic field of cancer pharmacology. Prof. F. Lopez-Lara Director of the Department. Of Clinical Oncology Clinical University Hospital of Valladolid, Spain
PREFACE The Easy Book of Cancer Pharmacology represents the efforts of young oncologists, haematologists, pharmacists and oncology nurses who are highly motivated and encouraged by the significant development of new effective anticancer drugs. Since the discovery of antimetabolites and alkylating agents in the 1940s and 1950s, many new products have been introduced into our daily arsenal not only through chemotherapy agents, but also by means of biological or immunotherapeutic drugs whose side effects differ significantly. The idea of this book was born from a simple observation and confirmation of fact. New doctors in training experience high levels of stress and lack of confidence when confronting cancer patients and explaining a treatment or managing frequent side effects. Patients‘ questions will only add more nervousness, and this will lead to a failure in the doctor-patient relationship, causing the patient‘s mistrust and doctor‘s frustration. Nurses dealing with these patients will suffer pressure too, as many questions regarding antineoplastic drugs will be asked of them and patients expect them to ease their doubts. This feeling of vulnerability in front of a patient, though a part of the maturation process when becoming a professional caretaker, causes discomfort and incertitude. In this context, it is crucial to gain great knowledge about pharmacokinetic and pharmacological features of each active anticancer drug used, as well as the indications, dosages, interactions and toxicities, to be able to face the daily practice of oncology without concerns and manage daily therapeutic complications easily. This may be considered very difficult, taking into account the huge number of active agents doctors manage routinely, but doctors have accepted the challenge and designed a straightforward, comprehensible book to solve this issue. The Easy Book of Cancer Pharmacology provides the means to overcome the problem. It is conceived as an accessible, concise and yet exhaustive tool which displays a vast amounts of knowledge in a very schematic way. It is easy to consult and offers a very practical expertise to develop the ability of managing effectively each antineoplastic agent quickly. It gives the necessary insights to explain this to the patients with confidence. Each chapter reviews one active drug and shows the information with a pragmatic style, and they are divided into different sections. Each section covers distinct aspects of the agent, from general characteristics to more specific details related to clinical pharmacology.

ABIRATERONE: ABIRATERONE ACETATE: CB7630: ZYTIGA® A. Ballesteros Directorate Pharmacist, Oncology, Poole Hospital Foundation Trust, Poole, Dorset, UK
ABSTRACT Abiraterone inhibits 17 α-hydroxylase/C17, 20 lyase (CYP17A1), an enzyme which is expressed in testicular, adrenal, and prostatic tumor tissues which leads to a reduction in circulating levels of testosterone. Androgen-sensitive prostatic carcinoma responds to treatment that decreases androgen levels. Androgen deprivation therapies, such as treatment with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogues (LHRH) or orchiectomy, decrease androgen production in the testes but do not affect androgen production by the adrenals or in the tumour. Treatment with Zytiga® decreases serum testosterone to undetectable levels (using commercial assays) when given with LHRH (or orchiectomy) [1]. In 2011 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved abiraterone acetate for use in combination with prednisone for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have received prior chemotherapy containing docetaxel. This approval was based on the results of a randomized placebocontrolled multicenter trial which demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival in patients receiving abiraterone acetate compared with placebo. In 2012 the FDA approved an expanded indication for the treatment of mCRPC based on a trial that randomly assigned patients with mCRPC naïve for chemotherapy to either abiraterone plus prednisone or placebo plus prednisone. Entry was restricted to patients with metastases to the bone, soft tissue, or lymph nodes. Patients with moderate to severe cancer pain or opiate use for cancer pain were excluded. All patients had a prior orchiectomy or continued to receive a gonadotropin releasing hormone analog. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) was improved significantly by abiraterone. Median overall survival at the pre-specified third interim analysis was 35.3 months for abiraterone acetate and 30.1 months for placebo though not statistically significant [2].

INTRODUCTION Abiraterone is a structural analogue of pregnenolone (steroidal hormone manufactured primarily in the adrenal glands from its precursor, cholesterol with a number of beneficial effects) which inhibits an enzyme necessary for androgen synthesis, 17α-hydroxylase/C17, 20-lyase (CYP17) that is expressed in testicular, prostate, and adrenal tissue. It is approved for the treatment of mCRPC in patients asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic after failure of androgen deprivation therapy or patients who have progressed on docetaxel [3]. Although the activity of abiraterone is primarily confined to effects on androgen production, there is a reactive increase in corticotropin secondary to a pituitary response to the partial adrenal inhibition, which can lead to increased mineralocorticoid production. This can lead to hypokalemia and hypertension, which can be reduced by concurrent prednisone administration [2].
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Drug Classification Endocrine therapy, other hormone antagonists and related agents [2].
Mechanism of Action Abiraterone inhibits 17 α-hydroxylase/C17,20 lyase (CYP17A1), an enzyme which is expressed in testicular, adrenal, and prostatic tumour tissues. CYP17 catalyses two sequential reactions: (a) the conversion of pregnenolone and progesterone to their 17-α-hydroxy derivatives by its 17 α-hydroxylase activity, and (b) the subsequent formation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione, respectively, by its C17,20 lyase activity [9]. DHEA and androstenedione are androgens and precursors of testosterone. Inhibition of CYP17 activity by abiraterone thus decreases circulating levels of testosterone [3]. Androgen-sensitive prostatic carcinoma responds to treatment that decreases androgen levels. Androgen deprivation therapies, such as treatment with LHRH analogues or orchiectomy, decrease androgen production in the testes but do not affect androgen production by the adrenals or in the tumour. Treatment with abiraterone decreases serum testosterone to undetectable levels (using commercial assays) when given with LHRH analogues (or orchidectomy) [2].
Abiraterone: Abiraterone Acetate

Pharmacokinetics [2] Absorption
Distribution
Metabolism Excretion
Time to reach maximum plasma concentration is approximately 2 hours. Administration of abiraterone acetate with food, compared with administration in a fasted state, results in up to a 10-fold (AUC) and up to a 17-fold (Cmax) increase in mean systemic exposure of abiraterone, depending on the fat content of the meal. Given the normal variation in the content and composition of meals, taking Zytiga with meals has the potential to result in highly variable exposures. Therefore, Zytiga must not be taken with food. It should be taken at least two hours after eating and no food should be eaten for at least one hour after taking Zytiga. The tablets should be swallowed whole with water. The plasma protein binding of 14C-abiraterone in human plasma is 99.8%. The apparent volume of distribution is approximately 5,630 l, suggesting that abiraterone extensively distributes to peripheral tissues. Liver metabolism due to cytochrome CYP3A4 Mean half-life 15 hours. Excreted mostly in faeces (88%)
Mechanism of Resistance Increase on intratumoral androgen synthesis and increased expression of full length and split variants of the androgen receptor [2].
Indications [2] Abiraterone indications are as follows:
The treatment of mCRPC in adult men who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic after failure of androgen deprivation therapy in whom chemotherapy is not yet clinically indicated. The treatment of mCRPC in adult men whose disease has progressed on or after a docetaxel-based chemotherapy regimen.
