The tissue culture studies showed that 17alpha-Hydroxypregnenolone led to an increase in serum bile acids. In adrenocortical carcinoma cell lines, this compound was found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells through inhibition of DNA synthesis and protein synthesis through inhibition of RNA polymerase II activity. It also inhibits infectious diseases by decreasing virus production and increasing the production of interferon alpha.
