Bioactivity | Prednisolone disodium phosphate is a synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties.Target: Glucocorticoid ReceptorPrednisolone irreversibly binds with glucocorticoid receptors (GR) alpha and beta for which they have a high affinity. Prednisolone can activate and influence biochemical behaviour of most cells. The steroid/receptor complexes dimerise and interact with cellular DNA in the nucleus, binding to steroid-response elements and modifying gene transcription. They induce synthesis of some proteins, and inhibit synthesis of others. Prednisolone exerted a delayed biphasic effect on the resistant CCRF-CEM leukemic cell line, necrotic at low doses and apoptotic at higher doses. At low doses, prednisolone exerted a pre-dominant mitogenic effect despite its induction on total cell death, while at higher doses, prednisolone's mitogenic and cell death effects were counterbalanced [1, 2]. |
