| Bioactivity | Flunisolide hemihydrate is a corticosteroid, which is an orally active glucocorticoid receptor activator with anti-inflammatory activity. Flunisolide hemihydrate can induce eosinophil apoptosis, and is used for the research of asthma or rhinitis, and inflammation[1][2]. |
| Invitro | Flunisolide hemihydrate (0.1-10 μM, 1 h) inhibits lung fibroblast (Isolated from lung) activation[1].Flunisolide hemihydrate (10 μM, 24 h) reduces MMP-9, TIMP-1, TGF-β and fibronectin release by sputum cells (isolated frommild to moderate asthmatics), and induces sputum eosinophil apoptosis[2].Flunisolide hemihydrate (0.1-10 µM μM, 24 h) effectively inhibits ICAM-1 expression and GM-CSF and IL-5 release induced by TNF-alpha in BEAS-2B cells[3].Flunisolide hemihydrate (115 µM, 0-3 h) can be transported in a polarized way in the apical (ap) to basolateral (bl) direction in Calu-3 cells and is demonstrated to be ATP-dependent[4].
