Description

Hydrocortisone acetate is a corticosteroid that binds to specific nuclear DNA and cell-specific DNA. It has been shown to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators by binding to glucocorticoid receptors in the nucleus. Hydrocortisone acetate also suppresses the release of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8. Hydrocortisone acetate is used for the treatment of diseases such as myeloma and rheumatoid arthritis.
Hydrocortisone acetate is an ester with hydrocortisone and estradiol benzoate. The molecular weight of hydrocortisone acetate is 577 daltons, which corresponds to the molecular weight of hydrocortisone (576 daltons) plus estradiol benzoate (11 daltons).
