glucocorticoid receptor

Relacorilant is a selective and orally bioavailable antagonist of glucocorticoid receptor(Ki of 7.2 nM in HepG2 TAT assay, and also shows Kis of 12, 81.2, 210 nM for rat, human and monkey glucocorticoid receptor in cell-based assay, respectively). Relacorilant has the potential for Cushing's syndrome treatment.

Corticosterone (Kendall's compound B) is an adrenocortical steroid with salocorticoid and glucocorticoid activity that is orally active. Corticosterone is involved in the regulation of energy, immune responses, and stress responses in the body.

Finerenone (BAY-948862) is a nonsteroidal antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) (IC50=18 nM) with selective and oral activity. Finerenone is used in the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease with type 2 diabetes.

Dexamethasone (Hexadecadrol) is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist and IL receptor modulator with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties that induces autophagy and inhibits LPS-induced inflammatory responses in macrophages.

Megestrol acetate (BDH1298) is a progestogen with actions and uses similar to those of the progestogens in general. Megestrol acetate also has anti-androgenic properties. It is given by mouth in the palliative treatment or as an adjunct to other therapy in endometrial carcinoma and in breast cancer. Megestrol acetate has been approved to treat anorexia and cachexia.

Methylprednisolone succinate (Methylprednisolone hemisuccinate) is a synthetic glucocorticoid and is widely used as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Mifepristone (C-1073) is a Progestin Antagonist. The mechanism of action of mifepristone is as a Progestational Hormone Receptor Antagonist.

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.

Spironolactone (SC9420) is an Aldosterone Antagonist. The mechanism of action of spironolactone is as an Aldosterone Antagonist.

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

Hydrocortisone (Cortisol) is a glucocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenocortex. Hydrocortisone agonizes the glucocorticoid receptor, which promotes proteolytic metabolism, gluconeogenesis, capillary wall stabilization, and renal calcium excretion, as well as suppressing immune and inflammatory responses.

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.

Cort108297 is a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator and a selective GR antagonist with no affinity for other steroid receptors. Cort108297 showed a high affinity for GRs (Ki: 0.45nM).

Deoxycorticosterone acetate (Cortexone acetate) is the 21-acetate derivative of desoxycorticosterone, used for intramuscular injection for replacement therapy of the adrenocortical steroid.

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

EX-A5386 (Glucocorticoid receptor modulator-1) is a potent glucocorticoid receptor modulator, IC50 EC50<100nM.

HP210, a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator (SGRM), can suppress IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA expression, suggesting its utility in investigating inflammation-related diseases [1].

Ecdysone is a major steroid hormone in insects and herbs. Ecdysone triggers mineralocorticoid receptor activation and induces cellular apoptosis. Ecdysone signaling through Ecdysone receptor isoform B1 is required cell autonomously for the muscle death.

N-Demethyl Mifepristone (RU 42633), an active metabolite of Mifepristone, exhibits 61% of the affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor relative to Mifepristone's 100% [1].

Glucocorticoid receptor agonist-1, a potent glucocorticoid receptor agonist, has an IC50 of 2.8 nM[1].

Eplerenone (CGP 30083) is an aldosterone receptor antagonist and potassium-sparing diuretic used in the therapy of hypertension. Eplerenone therapy has been associated with transient elevations in serum aminotransferase levels, but has yet to be linked to cases of clinically apparent drug induced liver disease.

Glucocorticoid Receptor Activator 1, a phenyl nitrogen-heterocyclic precursor, acts as an activator of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). By activating GR, it downregulates the expression of pro-inflammatory genes stimulated by TNF, making it useful for inflammation research.

Glucocorticoid Receptoragonist-5 (compound 4) is an effective glucocorticoid molecule acting as a potent agonist for glucocorticoid receptors. It exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities and serves as an ADC cytotoxin.

Glucocorticoid Receptor Agonist-4 Ala-Ala-Mal (Compound Preparation 9) is a conjugate of anti-human TNFα antibody and glucocorticoid receptor agonist (GC). It is applicable in the research of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases [1].
