An adrenocortical steroid with modest glucocorticoid
and mineralocorticoid activity. It is the primary glucocorticoid
in the rat.

CORTICOSTERONE C화학적 특성, 용도, 생산
개요
Corticosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands that binds to both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors. It is produced in response to ACTH (corticotropic hormone) and is the precursor to aldosterone synthesis. Since the production of glucocorticoids is increased by stress, it is often used as a biomarker of stress. Plasma corticosterone levels have a circadian variation and corticosterone may be important in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle.
화학적 성질
white to light yellow powder
용도
Corticosterone: HBC complex has been used:
in the intravenous and intraperitoneal administration of corticosterone to rats to test its effect on glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid activity
to induce acute stress in mice
in Pulsatile treatment in mice to test its effect on clock gene period 1 transcription
정의
ChEBI: A 21-hydroxy steroid that consists of pregn-4-ene substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 11 and 21 and oxo groups at positions 3 and 20. Corticosterone is a 21-carbon steroid hormone of the corticosteroid type produced in the cortex of the adrenal glan
s.
일반 설명
Corticosterone is a corticosteroid and aldosterone precursor produced in the adrenal glands. Serum corticosterone levels are measured by LC-MS/MS for newborn screening and diagnosis of 11-hydroxylase deficiency.
생물학적 활성
Endogenous glucocorticoid that acts as an agonist at glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors.
Purification Methods
Purify corticosterone by recrystallisation from Me2CO (trigonal plates), EtOH or isoPrOH. It has UV max at 240nm, and gives an orange-yellow solution with strong fluorescence on treatment with concentrated H2SO4. It is insoluble in H2O but soluble in organic solvents.

J Am Chem Soc 7 7 4359 1955; NMR: Shoolery & Rogers J Am Chem Soc 8 0 5121 1958.] The 21-O-acetyl derivative [1173-26-8] crystallises from Me2CO/Et2O with m 152.5-153o, [] D 20 +195o (c 0.6, Me2CO), and the 21-O-benzoyl derivative crystallises from AcOH/Et2O with m 201-202o [Reichstein Helv Chim Acta 2 0 953 1937].
