Tetrahydrocortisol
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tetrahydrocortisol is a metabolite of Hydrocortisone (HY-N0583) that fails to activate glucocorticoid receptor. Tetrahydrocortisol inhibits Dexamethasone (HY-14648)-induced formation of cross-linked actin networks. Tetrahydrocortisol acts as a synergist to enhance the activity of anticancer agents. Tetrahydrocortisol can be used in the research of primary open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, lung cancer and breast cancer.

Human Endogenous Metabolite |
Tetrahydrocortisol (0.01-1 μM; 2-14 days) inhibits dexamethasone-induced formation of actin cross-linked networks in human primary trabecular meshwork cells, with an IC50 of 0.57 μM after 14 days of treatment. When used alone, it increases microfilament bundling and partially reverses dexamethasone-induced microtubule disorganization[1].
Tetrahydrocortisol (5-500 μM; 24 h) exhibits extremely weak cytotoxicity against EMT-6 mouse breast tumor cells, yet at 100 μM for 24 h, it protects normoxic EMT-6 cells from the cytotoxic effects of various anticancer agents and X-rays. Its protective effect is attenuated under acidic pH or hypoxic conditions[2].
Tetrahydrocortisol (0.1 mM; 48 h) slightly increases the packed cell volume of quiescent SM-C1 fibroblasts isolated from rat carrageenan granulomas, and simultaneously induces minor changes in the content and distribution ratio of intracellular free amino acids[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Tetrahydrocortisol (125 mg/kg; s.c.; continuous infusion; 14 days) in combination with β-Cyclodextrin tetradecasulfate (HY-107201) and minocycline (HY-17412A) produces a 1.2-day tumor growth delay alone, greatly enhances cytotoxic therapy-induced tumor growth delay, reduces the percentage of large lung metastases when administered alone, and further reduces lung metastasis number and size when combined with most cytotoxic therapies[2].

Animal Model:C57BL (8-10-week-old male; s.c. implantation of 2 × 106 Lewis lung carcinoma cells)[2]
-
Dosage:125 mg/kg (1:1 molar ratio with β-cyclodextrin tetradecasulfate)
-
Administration:s.c.; continuous infusion; 14 days (days 4 to 18 post-tumor implantation)
-
Result:Produced a tumor growth delay of 0.6 days.
Reduced the CDDP-induced tumor growth delay from 4.5 days to 2.2 days.
Reduced the melphalan-induced tumor growth delay from 2.7 days to 1.1 days.
Increased the single-dose cyclophosphamide-induced tumor growth delay from 7.2 days to 16.2 days.
Increased the three-dose cyclophosphamide-induced tumor growth delay from 21.5 days to 36.8 days.
Increased the single-dose radiation-induced tumor growth delay from 6.2 days to 8.3 days.
Increased the fractionated radiation-induced tumor growth delay from 4.4 days to 7.1 days.
Did not alter the total number of lung metastases (mean 14.5) or the percentage of large (vascularized) metastases (69%) compared to untreated controls.
Did not alter the number of lung metastases produced by CDDP, melphalan, cyclophosphamide, or radiation.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (3.41 mM); Clear solution
