Page/Page column 53, (2012/05/05)
The present invention relates to compounds which selectively inhibit CYP11B1. Preferably, the compounds of the present invention do not substantially inhibit CYP11B2. Moreover, the compounds of the present invention do not substantially inhibit CYP17 and/or CYP19, either. Amongst other applications of the compounds of the present invention, they can be used for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome or metabolic disease.
