  • Title: [Mechanism of effect and clinical use of antiandrogens].
    Author: Ulrich FE, Schneyer U.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1977 Apr 15; 32(8):181-4. PubMed ID: 70117.
    Abstract:
    It is reported on the possibilities of the application of anti-androgenics, especially of cyproterone acetate. The indication extends to hirsutism, sexual deviations, growth disturbances in pubertas praecox as well as diseases of the prostate. Particularly strong standard are to be applied in the treatment of fertile women, as there exists the danger of an intrauterine feminisation of male foetuses, when a pregnancy was not absolutely excluded. Side-effects and results of animal experiments are mentioned. The therapeutic mechanism of the anti-androgenics can be explained with the help of a concurrency mechanism at the androgen receptor or acceptor.
