Anecortave acetate (Retaane) is an analog of cortisol acetate; among the modifications to the steroid are the removal of the 11ß hydroxyl OH group and an addition of a 21-acetate group. As a result of these modifications, anecortave acetate lacks the typical …
Clascoterone (cortexolone 17?-propionate, CB-03-01) is a novel antagonist of androgen receptors. It binds to androgen receptors with high affinity.[A218771] By competing with androgens for binding to androgen receptors, clascoterone works by blocking the andr…
Corticorelin, available commercially as corticorelin ovine triflutate (tradename Acthrel), is a synthetic form of the peptide human corticotropin-releasing hormone (hCRH), a potent stimulator of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) release from the anterior pit…
An adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. (From Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1437)
Dexamethasone, or MK-125, is a corticosteroid fluorinated at position 9 used to treat endocrine, rheumatic, collagen, dermatologic, allergic, ophthalmic, gastrointestinal, respiratory, hematologic, neoplastic, edematous, and other conditions.[L10701] Develope…
Fludrocortisone is a synthetic mineralocorticoid used in conjunction with [hydrocortisone] to replace missing endogenous corticosteroids in patients with adrenal insufficiency.[A187169,A187187] It is functionally similar to [aldosterone], the body's primary e…
Hydrocortamate is a synthetic glucocorticoid used for its anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive properties to treat inflammation due to corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Glucocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones characterised by an ability to bind …
Hydrocortisone, or cortisol, is a glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex.[A188387] Hydrocortisone is used to treat immune, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions.[L10529,L10532,L10535,L10538,L7772,L7321] It was discovered in the 1930s by Edward Kendal…
Letrozole, or CGS 20267, is an oral non-steroidal type II aromatase inhibitor first described in the literature in 1990.[A190543,A1559,L11623,L11626] It is a third generation aromatase inhibitor like [exemestane] and [anastrozole], meaning it does not signifi…
Cushing's syndrome (CS) is underpinned by chronic hypercortisolism leading to multisystem morbidity, including effects on the cardiovascular and endocrine systems, metabolic syndrome with accompanying changes in body composition, neuropsychiatric effects, cha…
Mifepristone is a progestational and glucocorticoid hormone antagonist. Its inhibition of progesterone induces bleeding during the luteal phase and in early pregnancy by releasing endogenous prostaglandins from the endometrium or decidua. As a glucocorticoid …
ORG-34517 is currently under investigation by Organon for the treatment of depression. It has potential to treat a number of diseases such as Cushing’s disease, hypertension, diabetes, glaucoma etc, in which the activity of metabolites corticosterone and cor…
Osilodrostat is an inhibitor of 11?-hydroxylase (also referred to as CYP11B1), the enzyme that catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of endogenous cortisol.[L12123] It is used to lower circulating cortisol levels in the treatment of Cushing's disease, …
DHEA sulfate is the major steroid of the fetal adrenal. DHEA-S is the principal adrenal androgen and is secreted together with cortisol under the control of ACTH and prolactin. DHEA-S is elevated with hyperprolactinemia.
Prednisolone is a glucocorticoid similar to [cortisol] used for its anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, anti-neoplastic, and vasoconstrictive effects.[A187463] Prednisolone was granted FDA approval on 21 June 1955.[L9431]
Prednisolone phosphate is a glucocorticoid similar to [cortisol] used for its anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, anti-neoplastic, and vasoconstrictive effects.[A187463] Prednisolone phosphate was granted FDA Approval on 19 December 1973.[L14144]
