Cushing’s syndrome (CS) in humans shares many similarities with its counterpart in dogs in terms of etiology (pituitary versus adrenal causes), clinical signs, and pathophysiologic sequelae. ATR-101 is a novel small molecule therapeutic currently in clinical development for the treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and adrenocortical carcinoma in humans. ATR-101 is an adrenal-selective inhibitor of ACAT1 (acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1). ACAT1 catalyz...
