An enzyme of the lyase class that catalyzes the cleavage of the bond between carbons 17 and 20 in 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone to form delta 4-androstene-3,17-dione, an androgen. It also catalyzes the conversion of 17 alpha-hydroxypregnenolone to dehydroepiandrosterone. (from Dorland, 28th ed) EC 4.1.2.30.

Platidiam
- An inorganic water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts DNA produce both intra interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in G2 phase cell cycle.
