Fluorometholone 

Fluorometholone, a synthetic glucocorticoid, is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist with anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Fluorometholone can be used for the research of dry eye^[1].

glucocorticoid receptor^[1]

Fluorometholone (25-100 nM; 12 hours, 24 hours) increases the gene expression of MUC1, MUC4, MUC16 and MUC19 in the conjunctival and corneal epithelial cells through activation of glucocorticoid receptors^[1].

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
