anti-glucocorticoid

Ulipristal is a selective SPRM for emergency contraception after an unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.

Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist and IL receptor modulator with anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and apoptosis-inducing activities. It inhibits the production of inflammatory miRNA-155 exosomes in macrophages, significantly reduces inflammatory cytokine expression in neutrophils and monocytes, suppresses LPS-induced macrophage inflammation, and induces autophagy. It is commonly used to induce animal models of depression, muscle atrophy, and hypertension, and holds potential in COVID-19 research.

Isoflupredone (Isoflupredonum) is a synthetic corticosteroid that acts in vivo by binding to glucocorticoid and corticosteroid receptors in animals (such as horses) to inhibit inflammatory cells and inhibit the expression of inflammatory mediators. Isoflupredone has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects and can be used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal, allergic and systemic inflammatory diseases.

Cortisone Acetate is a synthetic or semisynthetic analog of the naturally occurring cortisone hormone produced by the adrenal glands with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties. Cortisone acetate (NSC-49420) diffuses through the cell membrane and binds to nuclear glucocorticoid receptors. The receptor-ligand complex binds to promotor regions of certain genes and initiates RNA transcription. This results in an induction of synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators.

Budesonide (Pulmicort), an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, has shown the effective glucocorticoid activitie and few mineralocorticoid activities. According to reports, Budesonide has extensively inhibitory effects against multiple cells types and mediators referred to allergic and nonallergic-mediated inflammatory. What's more, the anti-inflammatory action of budesonide has been revealed to contribute to the effectiveness of asthma.

Fluticasone propionate (CCI-187881), derived from fluticasone used to remedy asthma and allergic rhinitis, is a high affinity, selective GR (glucocorticoid receptor) agonist.

Nilutamide (RU23908), an antineoplastic hormonal agent, is mainly used in the treatment of prostate Y. Nilutamide is a pure, nonsteroidal anti-androgen with affinity for androgen receptors, but not for estrogen, progestogen, or glucocorticoid receptors. Therefore, Nilutamide can block the action of androgens of testicular and adrenal origin that stimulate the growth of malignant and normal prostatic tissue. Prostate Y is mainly androgen-dependent and can be treat with chemical castration or surgical. So far, antiandrogen monotherapy has not consistently been certified to be equivalent to castration.

Prednisolone acetate (Omnipred) is the acetate salt form of prednisolone, a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties.

Triamcinolone acetonide (Azmacort) is a Corticosteroid. The mechanism of action of triamcinolone acetonide is as a Corticosteroid Hormone Receptor Agonist. It is an anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid used topically in the treatment of various skin disorders. Intralesional, intramuscular, and intra-articular injections are also administered under certain conditions.

Prednisone (Dehydrocortisone) is a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties.

Beclometasone dipropionate (Vancenase) is the dipropionate ester of a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties. After cell surface receptor attachment and cell entry, beclomethasone enters the nucleus where it binds to and activates specific nuclear receptors, resulting in an altered gene expression and inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production.

Betamethasone valerate (Luxiq) is a synthetic glucocorticoid with metabolic, immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory actions.

Desonide (Prednacinolone) is a synthetic glucocorticosteroid for topical use, with anti-inflammatory activity. Desonide binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the cytoplasm, and the ligand-receptor complex is translocated as a homodimer into the nucleus, where transcription activation via glucocorticoid response elements within glucocorticoid-responsive genes occur. This agent induces transcription of genes coding for anti-inflammatory proteins, including lipocortin-1, interleukin-10, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and neutral endopeptidase. Increased synthesis of lipocortin-1 has an inhibitory effect on phospholipase A2, which in turn inhibits the release of arachidonic acid, thereby controlling the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

Clobetasone butyrate, a synthetic glucocorticoid with topical anti-inflammatory activity, is effective in treating corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, especially within skin tissues.

Mometasone furoate (Sch32088) is a pregnadienediol derivative with anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties, used in the management of asthma and allergic rhinitis, as well as a topical treatment for skin disorders.

Betamethasone Dipropionate is the 17, 21-dipropionate ester of betamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid with metabolic, immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory actions. Betamethasone dipropionate (SCH 11460) binds to specific intracellular glucocorticoid receptors and subsequently binds to DNA to modify gene expression. The synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins is induced while the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators is inhibited. As a result, there is an overall reduction in chronic inflammation and autoimmune reactions.

Prednisolone (Hydroretrocortine) is a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties.

Clobetasol propionate (CGP9555) exerts its effect by binding to cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptors and subsequently activates glucocorticoid receptor-mediated gene expression. This results in the synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators. Clobetasol Propionate is the propionate salt form of clobetasol, a topical synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. Specifically, clobetasol propionate appears to induce phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, thereby controlling the release of the inflammatory precursor arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2.

Betamethasone (NSC-39470), a glucocorticoid steroid, has immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties.

Fluticasone furoate (Avamys) is a synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid derived from fluticasone with a Kd of 0.3 nM. Fluticasone furoate has potent anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic activity, and low systemic exposure. Fluticasone furoate can be used as a nasal spray for studies about allergic rhinitis treatment.

Ulipristal acetate (CDB-2914) is an orally bioavailable selective progesterone receptor modulator with anti-progesterone activity. It binds to the progesterone receptor (PR), inhibiting PR-mediated gene expression and interfering with progesterone activity in the reproductive system, potentially suppressing the growth of uterine leiomyomatosis. Additionally, ulipristal can be used as emergency contraception by inhibiting or delaying ovulation and affecting endometrial tissue.

Cortisone (17-Hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone) is a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity.

Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate (hydrocortisone 21-hemisuccinate*free acid) is a corticosteroid used as an analytical and chromatography reagent.

Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate (Dexadreson) , an interleukin receptor modulator, has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant effects. It belongs to a potent glucocorticoid class of steroid synthetic drugs.
