Retrieved pharmacological data confirm that prednisolone is a glucocorticoid with diverse physiological actions including anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects.
Glucocorticoids (GC) are widely used in therapy for their many pharmacological properties including antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. However, their use over long periods is hampered by a number of severe side effects. Given the biological properties of nitric oxide (NO) and previous experience with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, we synthesized new chemical entities combining both NO and GC properties. Here we report the synthesis of nitro esters of prednisolone obtained through the esterification, with different linkers, on the hydroxy group at C-21 position of the cortic
Prednisolone is a glucocorticoid that is prednisone in which the oxo group at position 11 has been reduced to the corresponding beta-hydroxy group. It is a drug metabolite of prednisone. It has a role as an anti-inflammatory drug, an antineoplastic agent, a xenobiotic, an immunosuppressive agent, an adrenergic agent, a drug metabolite and an environmental contaminant. It is a primary alpha-hydroxy ketone, a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone, a glucocorticoid, a 17alpha-hydroxy steroid, a 21-hydroxy steroid, an 11beta-hydroxy steroid, a 20-oxo steroid, a C21-steroid and a 3-oxo-Delta(1),Delta(4)-st
