Hydrocortisone (Hydrocortisone, referred to as HC), also known as Cortisol, Cortisol (Cortisol), is an important adrenal glucocorticoid, its chemical name is 11β,17α,21-trihydroxypregna-4-ene -3,20-Diketone, its pharmacological action is to act on target cells through diffusion, bind to its receptors to form a steroid-receptor complex , the activated steroid-receptor complex acts as an activator of gene transcription, and The dimer form binds to the specific sequence chain on DNA, regulates gene transcription, increases the production of mRNA, and uses this as a template to synthesize corresponding proteins, which realize the physiological and pharmacological effects of steroid hormones in target cells; HC It can affect sugar metabolism and has anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-shock and anti-allergic effects.
