Identification
Name Mitotane
Accession Number DB00648 (APRD00494)
Type small molecule
Description A derivative of the insecticide dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane that specifically inhibits cells of the adrenal cortex and their production of hormones. It is used to treat adrenocortical tumors and causes CNS damage, but no bone marrow depression. [PubChem]

Groups approved
Monoisotopic Weight 317.953661148
Pharmacology
Indication For treatment of inoperable adrenocortical tumours; Cushing's syndrome
Mechanism of action Its biochemical mechanism of action is unknown, although data are available to suggest that the drug modifies the peripheral metabolism of steroids as well as directly suppressing the adrenal cortex.
Absorption About 40% oral Lysodren is absorbed
Protein binding 6%
Biotransformation Hepatic and renal
Route of elimination A variable amount of metabolite (1%-17%) is excreted in the bile and the balance is apparently stored in the tissues.
Toxicity Not Available
Affected organisms
