Cushing’s disease, characterized by elevated plasma cortisol levels, can be controlled by inhibition of 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1). The previously identified selective and potent CYP11B1inhibitor 5-((5-methylpyridin-3-yl)methyl)-2-phenylpyridine Ref 7 (IC50= 2 nM) exhibited promutagenic potential as well as very low oral bioavailability in rats (F = 2%) and was therefore modified to overcome these
