Osaterone acetate, sold under the brand name Ypozane, is a medication which is used in veterinary medicine in Europe in the treatment of enlarged prostate in dogs.[1][3][4] It is given by mouth.[1]

Osaterone acetate is an antiandrogen, and hence is an antagonist of the androgen receptor, the biological target of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone.[1] It is also a progestin, or a synthetic progestogen, and hence is an agonist of the progesterone receptor, the biological target of progestogens like progesterone.[1]

Osaterone acetate was introduced for veterinary use in 2007.[5] It is marketed in Europe.[6][1]

Uses

Veterinary

Osaterone acetate is used in veterinary medicine in Europe in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in dogs.[1][3][4] It has been found to produce remission of clinical symptoms of BPH in 83% of dogs for six months after a single one-week course of treatment,[7] and can be used long-term.[4]

Available forms

Osaterone acetate comes in the form of 1.875 mg, 3.75 mg, 7.5 mg, and 15 mg oral tablets for veterinary use.[1]

Side effects

Side effects of osaterone acetate include diminished sperm quality (for up to 6 weeks post-treatment), transient elevation of liver enzymes (caution should be observed with known liver disease), vomiting, diarrhea, polyuria/polydipsia, lethargy, and hyperplasia of the mammary glands.[8] It can also decrease cortisol levels, interfere with adrenocorticotropic hormone response, induce or exacerbate adrenal insufficiency, and exacerbate diabetes mellitus.[9][8]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

Osaterone acetate is a steroidal antiandrogen, progestin, and antigonadotropin.[1] It has virtually no estrogenic or androgenic activity.[3] Its side-effect profile indicates that it possesses clinically relevant glucocorticoid activity.[9][8] An active metabolite of osaterone acetate, 15β-hydroxyosaterone acetate, has potent antiandrogenic activity similarly to osaterone acetate.[1] Osaterone acetate treats BPH in dogs by reducing the actions of androgens in the prostate gland.[1]

Pharmacokinetics

The major active metabolite of osaterone acetate is 15β-hydroxyosaterone acetate.[1] Osaterone acetate has a long biological half-life of 80 hours to 197 ± 109 hours in dogs.[1][2]

Chemistry

Osaterone acetate, also known as 2-oxachloromadinone acetate, as well as 17α-acetoxy-6-chloro-2-oxa-6-dehydroprogesterone or 17α-acetoxy-6-chloro-2-oxapregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, is a synthetic pregnane steroid and a derivative of progesterone and 17α-hydroxyprogesterone.[6] It is a derivative of the less potent chlormadinone acetate.[3] The medication is the C17α acetate ester of osaterone.[6]

History

Osaterone acetate was introduced for veterinary use in Europe under the brand name Ypozane in 2007.[6][5][1]

Society and culture

Generic names

Osaterone acetate is the generic name of the drug.[6] Osaterone is the INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name of the deacetylated parent compound.[6]

Brand names

Osaterone acetate is marketed under the brand name Ypozane by Virbac.[6]

Availability

Osaterone acetate is available widely throughout Europe, including in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.[6]

Research

Osaterone acetate was also investigated in Japan in the treatment of prostate cancer and BPH in humans but was ultimately never marketed for such purposes.[3][10]
