Prednicarbate Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Prednicarbate is a relatively new topical corticosteroid. It displays similar potency as hydrocortisone and has a favorable benefit-risk ratio, with an inflammatory action similar to that of a medium potency corticosteroid, but with a low potential to cause skin atrophy. Since prednicarbate is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. By binding to the glucocorticoid receptor, it influences transcription factors AP-1 and NF-kB to block the transcription of COX-2/prostaglandin G/H synthase 2 which reduces the amount of prostanoids being produced from arachidonic acid. Prostanoids such as PGI2 and thromboxane A2 influence the effects of inflammation through vasoconstriction/dilation, pain sensitivity, and platelet aggregation. Prednicarbate also affects the promoter of annexin-1, an important inflammatory protein as it affects leukocytes and blocks phospholipase A2 which reduces the amount of arachidonic acid being cleaved from the phospholipid bilayer. Reducing the amount of arachidonic acid formed further decreases the concentrations of prostanoids mentioned calming inflammation. This molecule is administered as a topical cream or ointment.

Prednisolone Action Action Pathway New

Homo sapiens
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid drug that is used for inflammation, GI diseases, allergies and immunosuppression along with other uses. As prednisolone is a glucocorticoid, it's mechanism of actions is that of the glucocorticoid response element of influencing COX-2/prostaglandin G/H synthase 2 suppression and lipocortin/annexin induction. By binding to the glucocorticoid receptor, it influences transcription factors AP-1 and NF-kB to block the transcription of COX-2/prostaglandin G/H synthase 2 which reduces the amount of prostanoids being produced from arachidonic acid. Prostanoids such as PGI2 and thromboxane A2 influence effects of inflammation through vasoconstriction/dilation, pain sensitivity and platelet aggregation. Prednisolone also affects the promoter of annexin-1, an important inflammatory protein as it affects leukocytes and blocks phospholipase A2 which reduces the amount of arachidonic acid being cleaved from the phospholipid bilayer. Reducing the amount of arachidonic acid formed further decreases concentrations of prostanoids mentioned calming inflammation.

Prednisolone Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that is used clinically for its anti-inflammatory properties. Prednisolone diffuses passively across the cell membrane, where it binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the cytoplasm. Upon binding, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) dissociates from heat shock protein 90, and translocate into the nucleus. In the nucleus, GR dimers can bind to glucocorticoid response element (GRE) in the promoter region of anti-inflammatory genes, which activates their transcription. GRs also inhibit transcription of inflammatory mediators by binding to negative GRE (nGRE). GRs further interact with the transcription factors cAMP-responsive element binding protein and NF-kappa-B, and inihibit their activation of inflammatory gene transcription. GRs also recruit histone deacetylase 2 to inflammatory gene loci on DNA, which leads to DNA condensation and suppression of gene expression.
