Which of the following drug can inhibit steroidogenesis?
Etomidate suppresses the production of coisol and other steroids by inhibiting adrenal enzymes. Long-term infusion of Etomidate can inhibit adrenal enzyme but induction doses of Etomidate can cause slight reduction in coisol level. So Etomidate is not recommended for long-term infusion due to inhibition of steroidogenesis.
