More Info
Biological target:
Prednisolone acetate (Prednisolone 21-acetate) is an adrenal cortico hormones, with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immune suppressive effects.
In vitro activity:
This study reports here a study of Prednisolone treatment using as a model a leukemia cell line with subsequent investigation of resistance-related gene expression. This study analyzed effects of increasing doses of Prednisolone on ALL cell survival and growth, and monitored immediate effects on gene expression through gene expression assays. Upon treatment with escalating Prednisolone concentration, this study observed a gradual decline in cell survival. Prednisolone competitively induces MCL1 expression. Reference: Adv Exp Med Biol. 2021;1339:147-160. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35023102/
In vivo activity:
This study evaluated the effect of in vivo administration of prednisolone on Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (LPS)-induced increases in plasma RNI and neutrophil mRNA for NOS II and production of RNI in the rat. This study shows that LPS rapidly induces mRNA for NOS II and production of RNI (NO2- and NO3- anion) in rat neutrophils within 2 hr after in vivo administration of a sublethal dose of 0.5 mg/kg, i.v. A pharmacologic dose of prednisolone (50 micrograms/kg, im) given 15 min before LPS-attenuated production of NO2- and NO3- by neutrophils and suppressed LPS-stimulated mRNA for NOS II. 3-Amino, 1,2,4-triazine inhibited NO2- and NO3- production without affecting gene expression for NOS II.
