Aminoglutethimide
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Aminoglutethimide (DL-Aminoglutethimide) is an orally active anticonvulsant with various endocrine-related side effects. Aminoglutethimide blocks multiple steroid hormone synthesis pathways by inhibiting several cytochrome P-450-dependent hydroxylases, such as aromatase, cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, 11-hydroxylase, and 18-hydroxylase, with IC50 values of 0.3, 3.5, 120, and 20 μM, respectively. Aminoglutethimide reduces cortisol levels. Aminoglutethimide can be used in research on Cushing's syndrome, breast cancer, and other conditions.

Aminoglutethimide inhibits human placental microsomal aromatase by targeting cytochrome P-450, preventing the oxygen-dependent conversion of androgens to estrogens[1].
Aminoglutethimide (0.05 mM; duration sufficient to produce complete steroidogenesis inhibition) completely inhibits steroidogenesis in monolayer cultures of functional adrenal tumour cells by directly targeting steroidogenic enzymes, without altering ACTH-induced cell morphology or glucose consumption[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Aminoglutethimide (125-500 mg/kg/day; p.o.; once daily; 5 days) induces dose-dependent adrenal zona fasciculata cell damage including cytoplasmic vacuolation, single cell necrosis, excessive lipid accumulation, mitochondrial injury, and accelerated lysosomal degradation (mitophagy and lipophagy) in male Crlj:CD1(ICR) mice[3].
Aminoglutethimide (8 days) exhibits goitrogenic activity and interferes with thyroid metabolism in intact rats on a low iodine diet, as evidenced by increased thyroid weight and reduced radio-iodine uptake[4].
Aminoglutethimide induces thyromegaly, reduces thyroxine and di-iodotyrosine production, and increases thyroidal inorganic iodide levels in Rattus norvegicus[4].
Aminoglutethimide inhibits adrenal steroid biosynthesis in rats and puppies, inducing adrenal hypertrophy, decreased corticosterone production, increased plasma ACTH, and characteristic cortical histological changes[4].
Aminoglutethimide induces ovarian enlargement in intact rats and potential uterine enlargement in hypophysectomized rats[4].
Aminoglutethimide (large doses) disrupts ovarian function, halts oestrous cycles, induces sterility, and reduces oestrogen-related uterine weight in intact female rats[4].
Aminoglutethimide (10 mg/kg; i.v.) is active at 10 mg/kg intravenously to inhibit cortisol secretion and block the steroidogenic response to ACTH in dogs[4].

Result:Induced cytoplasmic vacuolation in adrenal zona fasciculata cells at 125-500 mg/kg/day, with vacuole membranes staining positive for adipophilin and LAMP-2, increased LAMP-2-positive granules, and Sudan black-positive vacuole contents.
Observed single cell necrosis in zona fasciculata cells at 250-500 mg/kg/day.
Caused 3 of 4 mice to become moribund and require euthanasia on Day 3 at 500 mg/kg/day.
Revealed enlarged lipid droplets, increased primary lysosomes, mitochondrial vacuolation, and enlarged lysosomes containing damaged mitochondria and lamellar bodies in zona fasciculata cells across all doses via electron microscopy.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
