Biological Activity
| Description | Metyrapone (NSC-25265, SU-4885) is an inhibitor of the enzyme steroid 11-beta-monooxygenase (CYP11B1) that inhibits adrenal steroid synthesis. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Targets |
|
||
| In vitro | Metyrapone is a well known inhibitor of 11β-hydroxylase, a key enzyme involved in the final step of cortisol biosynthesis. At higher concentrations, it also inhibits other steroidogenic enzymes such as cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme. It is specific for 11β-HSD1 while it has little effect on 11β-HSD2 activity[1]. | ||
| In vivo | The administration of metyrapone to man, and animals such as the dog and sheep thus leads to a decrease in circulating levels of cortisol[1]. |
