Are there any environmental toxins that interfere with the 17α-hydroxylase and/or 17,20 lyase activity of CYP17A1?

Or with the production of CYP17A1? Obviously ANY toxin will do that if it kills you, but I'm thinking of an agent that can affect CYP17A1 without producing other obvious effects, and to which...

Thank you!

Khaleel A Abu-Sbeih

the reaction ultimately leads to hydroxyl radicals

Dear Khaleel, I'm sorry but your answer is not correct. While, the reactivity of RC(O)OO(.) resembles the reactivity of HO(.)
