5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone
5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone (5α-HB), an endogenous steroid, is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist and a metabolite of Corticosterone. 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone is an effective topical anti-inflammatory agent in vivo. 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone reduces metabolites that bind to GR-Corticosterone and its 5α-reduced metabolites in rat hepatocytes, with a Kd of 268 nM. 5α-Tetrahydrocorticosterone can be used for research on inflammatory skin diseases[1].
