Metabolite Identification
Common Nameo,p′-DDD
DescriptionMitotane is 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). Its biochemical mechanism of action is unknown, although data are available to suggest that it modifies the peripheral metabolism of steroids as well as directly suppressing the adrenal cortex.
