Provided herein are substituted steroidal derivative compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds. The subject compounds and compositions are useful for inhibition of glucocorticoid receptors. Furthermore, the subject compounds and compositions are useful for the treatment of cancer and hypercortisolism.

Provided herein are compounds, such as compounds of Formula I, that bind to androgen receptors and/or modulate activity of androgen receptors. Also provided are methods for making and using such compounds. Also provided are compositions including such compounds and methods for making and using such compositions. ##STR00001##

Methods and compositions are provided for treatment of disorders associated with aberrant adrenal cortex cell behavior, including (but not limited to) treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), Cushing's syndrome and/or pituitary ACTH excess (Cushing's Disease). Such methods involve administration of an effective amount N-(2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl)-N′-((1-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)cyclopentyl)-methyl)urea hydrochloride to the patient.

A stabilized formulation for controlled release of a vitamin D compound is disclosed. The formulation can comprise one or both of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.sub.2 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D.sub.3 and a stabilizing compound. The stabilized formulations exhibit a stable dissolution profile following exposure to storage conditions and demonstrate improved pharmacokinetic parameters compared to unstabilized formulations.

The present invention relates to certain cortexolone derivatives of formula (I) ##STR00001##
and the use of the same as antitumor active ingredients for the curative or adjuvant, or neoadjuvant or palliative treatment of precancerous lesions, dysplasias, metaplasias and tumor diseases, including malignant neoplasias and metastasis. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising cortexolone derivatives of formula (I) as active ingredients and at least one physiologically acceptable excipient, and to the use of the pharmaceutical compositions as antitumor medicinal products.

Provided herein are methods for treating, preventing, and improving conditions associated with cardiometabolic syndrome, by identifying a subject in need of treatment, prevention, or improvement of a condition associated with cardiometabolic syndrome, and providing a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising chromium and histidine, chromium histidinate complexes, or combinations thereof, to the individual.
