| Bioactivity | Cortisone (17-Hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone), an oxidized metabolite of Cortisol (a Glucocorticoid). Cortisone acts as an immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory agent. Cortisone can partially intervene in binding of Glucocorticoid to Glucocorticoid-receptor at high concentrations[1][3][4]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Cortisone (2.8-28,000 nM) dose-dependently attenuates the apoptosis induced by Cortisol in peripheral-blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)[1]. | ||||||||||||
