Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Trilostane is an inhibitor of 3 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with an IC50 value of 1 µM.[1] Trilostane is used in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome. In vitro fertilization, trilostane (1-0.1 µM) causes low normal pronuclear formation and high polyspermy.[2] In vitro, trilostane inhibits conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone but does not alter conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone nor progesterone to corticoid hormones. When given orally to rats, trilostane inhibits corticosterone and aldosterone production and elevates circulating levels of pregnenolone at doses lower than those that produce adrenal hypertrophy or inhibit gonadal steroidogenesis.[1] In addition, the intracerebroventricular infusion of 0.3 µg/hour trilostane effectively blocks the increase in systolic blood pressure and reverses the hypertension produced by drinking 0.9% saline in both female and male rats.[3]

Protocols

In vitro: Trilostane is dissolved in DMSO.[4]
