Aminoglutethimide (Cytadren) is a competitive inhibitor of desmolase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone it also inhibits 11-hydroxylase activity. This drug also reduces estrogen production by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme complex in peripheral (skin, muscle, fat) and steroid target tissues. [Pg.700]

Aminoglutethimide (Cytadren AG), a first-generation type 2 AI, originally was developed as an anticonvulsant but was subsequently found to inhibit the synthesis of adrenocortical steroids. AG is a nonspecific weak AI, administered as a 250-mg dose four times daily with hydrocortisone supplementation because of unwanted adrenal suppression. Because of significant toxicides related to its anticonvulsant structure and its relatively weak inhibition of aromatase, its use has declined considerably with the advent of newer AIs. [Pg.260]
