“ Trilostane suppressed the intracellular production of androstenedione, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone from dehydroepiandrosterone in LNCaP-FGC cells.”
“ Trilostane competitively inhibits the enzyme 3-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD), which converts pregnenolone (P5) to progesterone (P4) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to androstendione (A4).”

“ Trilostane , aminogluthemide, or ICI 182,780 completely blocked the stimulatory effects of DHEA , suggesting that DHEA metabolites may stimulate aging somatotropes via estrogen receptors.”
“In kinetic analyses of the conversion of DHA to 4-androstenedione, both trilostane and cyanoketone caused increases in the Km(app) for DHA which at the highest concentration used, were 15-fold the control Km(app) of 1.4 mumol/l.”
