Metyrapone is a potent oral 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor and autophagy activator that also inhibits aldosterone production. It can be used in the study of depression, atherosclerosis and cancer[1,2].
Metyrapone (100μM; 2h) hyperactivates autophagy in HepG2, and delays the activation of apoptosis at severe endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress[3]. In H295R cells, treatment with Metyrapone (20μM; 48h) for 48 hours significantly reduced cortisol levels, which were 25.2±4.3μg/L in untreated cells and decreased to 18.9±0.3μg/L after Metyrapone treatment[4].
Neuronal loss in the hippocampal CAl region was significantly reduced in the 4VO model in rats administered Metyrapone (200 mg/kg; sc; 30 min before ischaemia)[5]. There was significant impairment of ovarian and uterine development in the young female Metyrapone-treated (100mg/kg; ip; 30d) mice with the incidence of corpora lutea being reduced 82%. Seminal vesicle and body weights were significantly reduced in juvenile males[6]. Metyrapone (100mg/kg; ip; 4 weeks) treatment reduced the relative mRNA expression levels of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, a gluconeogenic GR target gene, in the liver and was associated with increased relative mRNA expression levels of the adrenal high-density lipoprotein receptor, SR-BI, and the steroidogenic enzymes, CYP11A1 and CYP11B[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
Normal human epidermal keratinocytes cells |
|
Preparation Method |
H295R cells were seeded into 96-well plates in triplicates and treated with Metyrapone (20μM) used alone for 48h. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
20μM; 48h |
|
Applications |
In H295R cells, treatment with Metyrapone (20μM; 48h) for 48 hours significantly reduced cortisol levels, which were 25.2±4.3μg/L in untreated cells and decreased to 18.9±0.3μg/L after Metyrapone treatment. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
four-vessel occlu sion (4VO) model |
|
Preparation Method |
Male Wistar rats were used for the four-vessel occlu sion (4VO) model of transient global forebrain ischemia, Metyrapone was dissolved in sterile saline and injected subcutane ously in a volume of 1.5ml, (200mg/kg body wt). |
|
Dosage form |
200mg/kg; sc; 30min before ischaemia |
|
Applications |
In the 4VO model, neuronal loss in region CAl of the hippocampus was significantly reduced in rats administered Metyrapone. Seizure-induced damage to hippocampal pyramidal neurons was significantly reduced in rats administered Metyrapone. |
