5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone  (Synonyms: 5α-THB)

Cat. No.: HY-113364
Handling Instructions Technical Support

5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (5α-HB), an endogenous steroid, is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist and a metabolite of Corticosterone (HY-B1618). 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone is an effective topical anti-inflammatory agent in vivo. 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone reduces metabolites that bind to GR-Corticosterone and its 5α-reduced metabolites in rat hepatocytes, with a Kd of 268 nM. 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone can be used for research on inflammatory skin diseases.

Description

5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (5α-HB), an endogenous steroid, is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist and a metabolite of Corticosterone (HY-B1618). 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone is an effective topical anti-inflammatory agent in vivo. 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone reduces metabolites that bind to GR-Corticosterone and its 5α-reduced metabolites in rat hepatocytes, with a Kd of 268 nM. 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone can be used for research on inflammatory skin diseases[1].

In Vitro

5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (0.001-100 μM) reduces metabolites that bind to GR-Corticosterone and its 5α-reduced metabolites in rat hepatocytes, with a Kd of 268 nM[1].
5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (1 μM, 16 h) increases TAT and PEPCK mRNA in H4IIE cells[1].
5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (1-10000 nM, 7 days) causes concentration-dependent suppression of vessel outgrowth from mouse aortic rings, with an EC50 of 2512 nM[2].
5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (3 μM) increases the level of Mcp1 and Per1 and suppresses the expression of Pecam1 in aortic rings[2].

In Vivo

5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (5 mg/kg, i.p., single dose) exhibits glucocorticoid effects in the mice that are bilaterally adrenalectomized[1].
5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (25-200 μg, local administration, 28 days) suppresses ear swelling induced by croton-oil in the mice[3].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Adult lean male Zucker rats (6-8 weeks) were bilaterally adrenalectomized[1]
Dosage: 5 mg/kg
Administration: i.p.for a single dose
Result: Remained low plasma corticosterone levels.
Induced a classical negative feedback effect upon the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
Animal Model: Male C57BL/6 mice with a single topical application of croton oil in ear skin[3]
Dosage: 25, 100, 200 μg
Administration: local administration for 28 days
Result: Suppressed ear swelling in mice, with an ED50 of 23 μg.
Did not cause skin thinning, adrenal atrophy, weight loss, thymic involution, or raised insulin levels.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
