Hydrocortisone

About Hydrocortisone
Systemic synthetic glucocorticoid, anti-inflammatory
Mechanism of Action of Hydrocortisone
The drug exerts it`s pharmacological action by penetrating and binding to cytoplasmic receptor protein and causes a structural change in steroid receptor complex. This structural change allows it`s migration in to the nucleus and then binding to specific sites on the DNA which leads to transcription of specific m-RNA and which ultimately regulates protein synthesis. It exerts both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions.
The drug exerts anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant actions as follows: - 1) Induce lipocortins in macrophages, endothelium, and fibroblasts which inhibits phospholipase A2 and thus decreases the production of Prostaglandins, leukotriens (LT), and platelet activating factor, 2) Causes negative regulation of genes for cytokines in macrophages, endothelial cells and lymphocytes and thus decreases the production of interleukins (IL-1, IL-2, IL-3, IL-6), TNF-alpha, GM-CSF (granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor), Gama interferon and suppresses fibroblast proliferation and T-lymphocyte functions and interferes chemo taxis. 3) Decreases the production of acute phase reactants from macrophages and endothelial cells and interferes complement function. 4) Decreases the production of ELAM-1(Endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1) and ICAM-1(intracellular adhesion molecule-1) in endothelial cells. 5) Inhibit IgE mediated histamine and LT-C4 release from basophiles and the effects of antigen-antibody reaction is not mediated 6) Reduces the production of collagenase and stromolysin and thus prevents tissue destruction.

Pharmacokinets of Hydrocortisone
Absorption: Absorption ranges from 1% to 36% after topical application. Absorption after injection varies depending up on the site of injection and blood supply to particular area.
Distribution: After topical application distributed throughout the local skin layers. Any drug absorbed in to circulation is rapidly removed from blood and distributed in to muscle, liver, kidney, skin, and intestine. Metabolism: Metabolized primarily in skin after topical application and a small amount absorbed in to circulation is metabolized in liver. Excretion: Metabolites are excreted mainly through urine and a small amount is excreted through faeces.
