Description

R-(+)-Aminoglutethimide is a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport and the cleavage enzyme 4-phenylimidazole. It inhibits mitochondrial ATP production by binding to the inner mitochondrial membrane and preventing the passage of electrons from cytochrome c oxidase to oxygen. This drug has been shown to be effective in treating corticotroph adenoma, a benign tumor of the anterior pituitary gland, which is due to excessive secretion of ACTH by the gland. R-(+)-Aminoglutethimide can also be used for treatment of Cushing's syndrome due to its ability to inhibit cortisol synthesis in the adrenal cortex. This drug has been shown to act as a potent inhibitor of progesterone synthesis in bovine and human ovaries, leading to decreased levels of pregnenolone, which is an important precursor for other steroid hormones such as testosterone or estrogens.
