Description

Pregnenolone-16alpha-carbonitrile is a synthetic pregnane steroid that is a metabolite of progesterone. It has been shown to be active against liver cells, and has been used as an inhibitor for detoxification enzymes. The reaction mechanism of pregnenolone-16alpha-carbonitrile can be described as follows: the carbonitrile group binds to the active site of cytochrome P450, while the 16α-hydroxyl group binds to the heme moiety in the enzyme. This binding inhibits p450 activity, leading to changes in enzyme activities and energy metabolism. Pregnenolone-16alpha-carbonitrile also has a strong affinity for DNA binding domains, which may lead to transcriptional regulation.
