Trilostane is thought to be a competitive inhibitor of the 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD), an essential enzyme system for the synthesis of cortisol, aldosterone and androstenedione. Due to its reliable clinical efficacy, trilostane is increasingly used to treat dogs with pituitary-dependant
