amphenone b

Description

Amphenone B is a synthetic compound that acts as an inhibitor of steroid biosynthesis. Its mechanism of action involves blocking the enzyme 11β-hydroxylase, which is essential for the production of cortisol and aldosterone. Amphenone B was initially studied for its potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome, a condition characterized by excessive cortisol production. However, its clinical use was limited due to its significant side effects, including adrenal insufficiency and hepatotoxicity. Despite its limited clinical use, Amphenone B continues to be studied for its potential applications in research, particularly in the development of new drugs for the treatment of steroid hormone-dependent diseases.'

thyroxine
Thyroxine: The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.. thyroxine : An iodothyronine compound having iodo substituents at the 3-, 3'-, 5- and 5'-positions.		6.92102-halophenol;
