    It has been shown that prostate cancer is associated with elevated androgen biosynthesis; therefore, inhibiting the activity of Cytochrome P450 17 (CYP17) may prevent progression of prostate cancer. In this study we identified, using in silico and experimental methods, two novel steroidal and non-steroidal lead compounds that inhibit the activity CYP17.
