| Bioactivity | 21-Acetoxypregna-1,4,9(11),16-tetraene-3,20-dione is an intermediate of delta 9,11 steroids synthesis, for example, Vamorolone (HY-109017). The delta 9,11 steroids are modifications of glucocorticoids and has anti-inflammatory properties. The delta 9,11 steroids are agents for protection against cell damage (lipid peroxidation) and inhibition of neovascularization[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Δ9,11 derivatives are designed and developed to stably incorporate into cell membranes and inhibit lipid peroxidation without glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid activities, thus avoiding side effects associated with traditional corticosteroids[1].VBP15 acts as a lead compound due to potent NF-κB inhibition and GR translocation similar to prednisone and dexamethasone, lack of transactivation properties, and good bioavailability[1]. | ||||||||||||
