02/01/2005 - "The intracerebroventricular, but not subcutaneous, infusion of 0.3 microg/h trilostane effectively blocked the increase in systolic blood pressure and reversed the hypertension produced by drinking 0.9% saline. "
02/01/2005 - "To test the hypothesis that de novo synthesis of aldosterone in the brain has a pathophysiological role in the salt-induced hypertension of the SS rat, the 3beta-steroid dehydrogenase antagonist trilostane was infused continuously intracerebroventricularly or subcutaneously in two different cohorts of Dahl SS/jr rats, one female, the other male, during and after the development of salt-induced hypertension. "
03/20/1982 - "It is concluded that trilostane is an effective inhibitor of 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in vivo and that it is useful in the treatment of primary aldosteronism and other hypertension due to hyperproduction of aldosterone."
01/10/2015 - "Clinical signs, liver enzymes, serum cortisol concentrations of the endocrine tests, proteinuria, systolic hypertension, the presence of concomitant disorders, and the frequency of trilostane administration were not associated with survival time. "
01/01/1983 - "(2 alpha, 4 alpha, 5 alpha, 17 beta)-4, 5-[Epoxy-17-hydroxy-3-oxo-androstane-2-carbonitrile (Trilostane, Win 24450) is a new, orally active, competitive inhibitor of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase currently being introduced into therapy of Cushing's disease and primary aldosteronism and being investigated in the treatment of low-renin essential hypertension.
