How CRENESSITY Works

Crinecerfont acts as a selective antagonist that blocks the binding of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) to type 1 receptors in the pituitary gland. By inhibiting these receptors, the drug suppresses the secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This reduction in ACTH levels subsequently decreases the production of ACTH-mediated adrenal androgens.
