Description

ACTH(1-39) trifluoroacetate is a synthetic form of ACTH that is used for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases and bowel disease. It is also used to assess the function of the adrenal gland in cases of suspected Cushing's syndrome. The blood sampling procedure involves withdrawing a small amount of blood from the patient and adding ACTH(1-39) trifluoroacetate to it, which causes an increase in cortisol concentration. ACTH(1-39) trifluoroacetate binds to corticotropin receptors on cells in the body, causing them to release basic proteins that are responsible for inflammation. This drug may be a potential biomarker for metabolic disorders such as obesity. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and can be used as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
