Osilodrostat
Osilodrostat (INN, USAN) (developmental code name LCI-699) is an orally active, nonsteroidal corticosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor which is under development by Novartis for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome and pituitary ACTH hypersecretion (a specific subtype of Cushing's syndrome).[1][2] It specifically acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and at higher dosages of 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1).[2] The drug was also under development for the treatment of heart failure, hypertension, and solid tumors, but development was discontinued for these indications.[1] As of 2017, osilodrostat is in phase III and phase II clinical trials for treatment of pituitary ACTH hypersecretion and Cushing's syndrome, respectively.[1]
