AMBOSS: “Ketoconazole: inhibition of 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase”

It should be “via inhibition of 17α-hydroxylase and 21β-hydroxylase in the adrenal gland” which are both necessary for cortisol production. 17,20-lyase/17,20-desmolase (which IS inhibited by ketoconozole as well) is later in the pathway (FA 2023 pg 339) and therefore is not needed for the synthesis of cortisol [Ketoconazole - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf]
