Chemical Structure
Metyrapone
Synonym(s): Su-4885
- CAS No.: 54-36-4
- Formula:C14H14N2O
- Molecular Weight:226.27
IUPAC Name: 2-methyl-1,2-di(pyridin-3-yl)propan-1-one
InChIKey: FJLBFSROUSIWMA-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: CC(C1=CC=CN=C1)(C)C(C2=CC=CN=C2)=O
Biological Activity: Metyrapone (Su-4885) is a potent and orally active 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor and an autophagy activator, also inhibits the production of aldosterone. Metyrapone inhibits synthesis of endogenous adrenal corticosteroid, decreases glucocorticoid levels, and also affects behavior and emotion. In addition, Metyrapone increases the efficiency of autophagic process via downregulation of mTOR pathway, and interacts with Pseudomonas putida cytochrome P-450. Metyrapone can be used for researching Cushing's syndrome and depression[1][2][3][4][5].
