Application

DL-Aminoglutethimide has been used:
  • as a steroid synthesis inhibitor to study its effects on steroid synthesis in amphibian Xenopus laevis oocytes[1]
  • as an adrenostatic compound to study its effects on full form Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) andproopiomelanocortin (POMC) expression in the anterior domain of zebrafish pituitary corticotrophs[2]
  • as an inhibitor of steroidogenic enzymes to study its effects on estrogen receptor (ER) mRNA levels in mouse tumor leydig cell line [3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

DL-Aminoglutethimide is a derivative of the sedative glutethimide. Originally introduced as an anticonvulsant, it was found to cause adrenal insufficiency. Blocks adrenal steroidogenesis by inhibiting the enzymatic conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. It also blocks the peripheral conversion (aromatization) of androgenic precursors to estrogens. The D-isomer is 30 times more potent at inhibiting aromatase activity, whereas the L-isomer is more potent at inhibiting cholesterol side-chain cleavage (steroidogenesis).
