Flumethasone

• Description:

  Flumethasone (Flumetasone) is an orally active, high selective and potent glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist. Flumethasone 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), while also regulating metabolic enzyme activity (tyrosine aminotransferase induction) . Flumethasone is promising for research of inflammatory diseases, cancer, and endocrine regulation[1][2][3][4].
