Supplier: AdipoGen AGCR13753M250

Chemical. CAS 51333-22-3. Formula C25H34O6. MW 430.5. Budesonide is a glucocorticoid and an agonist of glucocorticoid receptors EC50=45.7pM in a transactivation assay, selective for glucocorticoid over mineralocorticoid receptors. Budesonide is a synthetic anti-inflammatory agent that displays chemopreventive activity. It is used as an anti-inflammatory agent in the treatment of asthma, rhinitis and inflammatory bowel disease and is evaluated in prevention of lung cancer. It prevents formation of lung adenomas and adenocarcinomas in mice following inhalation or oral administration. It also reverses DNA hypomethylation and modulates expression of cancer related genes. Due to its potent activity, as an inhaled glucocorticoid, in reducing airway inflammation, Budesonide has potential as treatment for early COVID-19 infection.
