cortisone

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

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.

Hydrocortisone acetate (Cortisol 21-acetate) is the synthetic acetate salt form of hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive 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.

Cafedrine (Cafedrin) is found in tea and coffee and has a central nervous system stimulant effect.Cafedrine is often used in a 20:1 combination with a fixed dose of cortisone in the study of acute hypotension.

5β-Dihydrocortisone, a sterol metabolite derived from cortisone, is produced in the liver through the action of 5β-reductase (AKR1D1).

Tetrahydrocortisone, a stress-induced hormone and a urinary metabolite of Cortisone, originates from the reduction of Cortisone facilitated by 5-reductase.
