Mitotane is an anticancer chemotherapeutic compound clinically used to treat adrenocortical carcinoma, as it targets only adrenal cells and not others. In adrenocortical cells, mitotane inhibits secretion of cortisol and 17-hydroxyprogesterone and decreases activity of cytochrome c oxidase, suppressing mitochondrial respiration and inhibiting cell proliferation. Mitotane may induce hyperlipidemia in clinical subjects, as it increases serum levels of LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.
