Flumethasone (Flumetasone) is an orally active, highly selective and potent glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist. It activates GR to inhibit nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production (TNF-α, IL-1β) and promotes anti-inflammatory gene expression (IL-10). It also regulates metabolic enzyme activity, such as tyrosine aminotransferase induction. Flumethasone shows promise for research into inflammatory diseases, cancer, and endocrine regulation.
