Description
Metyrapone (NSC-25265) is a potent and selective inhibitor of steroid 11β-hydroxylase, the enzyme encoded by CYP11B1. It is widely used in both clinical diagnostics for assessing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function in Cushing's syndrome and in biomedical research to modulate corticosteroid levels in vitro and in vivo.

Chemical Information

Metyrapone

Metyrapone is an aromatic ketone that is 3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one in which the methyl groups at positions 1 and 4 are replaced by pyridin-3-yl groups. A steroid 11beta-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.15.4) inhibitor, it is used in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency. It has a role as a diagnostic agent, an antimetabolite and an EC 1.14.15.4 (steroid 11beta-monooxygenase) inhibitor.
