Aminoglutethimide (Cytadren) is an inhibitor of adrenocortical steroid synthesis. It blocks aromatase in the generation of estrogens from androstenedione and testosterone. It also blocks the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone by inhibiting the enzyme P450scc and consequently decreases synthesis of all hormonally active steroids. It inhibited bovine adrenal cholesterol side-chain cleavage activity with an IC50 value of 40 μM.

| Cell lines | Adrenocortical tumor cell line NCI-h295 |
| Preparation method | Maintaining the NCI-h295 tumor cell line in RPMI 1640 medium which is supplemented with transferrin (0.1 mg/mL), insulin (5 μg/mL), selenium (5.2 μg/mL) and 2% FCS. Incubating the cells for 48 hours with Aminoglutethimide (3, 30, 300 μM). Then examining cells by trypan blue staining for cell viability, counting with a coulter counter. For the assessment of ACTH-R mRNA, cells are harvested, and total RNA is extracted, electrophoresed, blotted and hybridized with a human ACTH-R cDNA probe. |

| Hydroxylapatite (≈20nm)
Hydroxylapatite (Hydroxyapatite) (≈20nm) is a natural form of calcium phosphate and it can stimulate the expression and secretion of collagen in primary human dermal fibroblasts. Hydroxylapatite nanopowder incorporated into biodegradable polymer composites or deposited onto biocompatible substrates promotes the adhesion and proliferation of osteogenic cells (osteoblasts). Hydroxylapatite has good biocompatibility, bioactivity, and bone conductivity, making it suitable for targeted drug or nucleic acid delivery. |
