About Mitotane.

Mitotane is an active drug substance rather than an overarching pharmacological class; clinically and regulatorily, it functions as an adrenal cytotoxic agent and antineoplastic adrenolytic therapy.

It acts by exerting direct cytotoxic effects on adrenocortical cells, inducing mitochondrial dysfunction, suppressing adrenal steroidogenesis, and altering the peripheral metabolism of corticosteroids.

Its primary therapeutic role is in oncology and endocrinology for the management of inoperable, metastatic, functional or nonfunctional adrenocortical carcinoma, and it is also utilized off-label in refractory Cushing's syndrome.
