Medrysone
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Medrysone (HMS) is a glucocorticoid receptor modulator and a STAT6 pathway enhancer. Medrysone enhances cytokine-induced STAT6 phosphorylation, which is required for M2-type macrophage polarization, and promotes VEGF and CCL2 secretion, vascular endothelial cell migration, and corneal injury repair. Medrysone can be used in research on corneal injury and elevated intraocular pressure.

In Vitro
Medrysone (5 µM; 24 h), when combined with IL-4, upregulates the mRNA expression levels of M2 marker genes (Mrc1, IL10, Fizz1, Arg1, CD11b) in RAW264.7 cells, and these levels are higher than those observed with either agent alone[1].
Medrysone (1-25 μM; 48 h) is a class I glucocorticoid that upregulates MBP protein in Oli-neuM cells[3].
Medrysone (10 μM; 48 h) increases MBP, PLP/DM20, CNP, and MOG myelin gene expression in Oli-neuM cells[3].
Medrysone (10 μM) upregulates RxRγ but not Gli1, and induces only weak NR3C1 activation in Oli-neuM cells[3].
