(from martindale, the extra pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p726) A naturally occurring glucocorticoid. It has been used in replacement therapy for adrenal insufficiency and as an anti-inflammatory agent. Cortisone itself is inactive. It is converted in the liver to the active metabolite hydrocortisone. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p726) -- Pubchem; Cortisone is a hormone. Chemically it is a corticosteroid with formula C21H28O5 and IUPAC name 17-hydroxy-11-dehydrocorticosterone. It is closely related to corticosterone. -- Wikipedia; One of cortisone's effects on the body, and a potentially harmful side effect when administered clinically, is the suppression of the immune system. This is an explanation for the apparent correlation between high stress and sickness. -- Wikipedia [HMDB] |
