Table 7.

P450 11B1

Properties References
Physiological substrate: 11β-Deoxycortisol (Denner et al. 1996; Coulter and Jaffe 1998; Parr et al. 2012; Bernhardt 2016; Pan et al. 2016; Schiffer, Brixius-Anderko, et al. 2016; Schiffer, Müller, et al. 2016)

Other substrates: Turinabol and metandienone (doping agents in sports), spironolactone, canrenone

Function: Steroid 11β- and 18-hydroxylation, cortisol formation (Figs. 4, 9)

Inhibition: Block synthesis of cortisol in Cushing’s syndrome and in chronic skin wounds, treating diseases caused by cortisol overproduction, interfere with the biosynthesis of aldosterone, possible application in treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma
