Which of the following drug can inhibit steroidogenesis?

A
Etomidate
B
Thiopentone
C
Propofol
D
Ketamine
High-Yield Explanation
Etomidate suppresses the production of coisol and other steroids by inhibiting adrenal enzymes. Long-term infusion of Etomidate can inhibit adrenal enzyme but induction doses of Etomidate can cause slight reduction in coisol level. So Etomidate is not recommended for long-term infusion due to inhibition of steroidogenesis.
