NCIt definition : A synthetic derivative of the sedative and anticonvulsant glutethimide with anti-steroid
properties. Originally used as an anticonvulsant, aminoglutethimide also blocks adrenal
steroidogenesis by inhibiting the enzymatic conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone.
In addition, this agent blocks the peripheral aromatization of androgenic precursors
to estrogens. Aminoglutethimide does not suppress ovarian estrogen production.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called nonsteroidal
aromatase inhibitors. Aminoglutethimide is used to decrease the production of sex
hormones (estrogen in women or testosterone in men) and suppress the growth of tumors
that need sex hormones to grow.;
