Cortisone acetate

• UNSPSC Description:

  Cortisone acetate (Cortisone 21-acetate), an oxidized metabolite of Cortisol (a Glucocorticoid). Cortisone acetate acts as an immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory agent. Cortisone acetate can partially intervene in binding of Glucocorticoid to Glucocorticoid-receptor at high concentrations[1][3][4].
