Biological activities

Prednisolone is a corticosteroid of the class glucocorticoids. Prednisolone is used in the treatment of respiratory, liver diseases, organ transplantation, cancer and autoimmune diseases.[1] Prednisolone suppresses blastogenesis dose dependently with an IC50 of 79.7 nM. [2] Prednisolone inhibits TNF-α production in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by 1 µg/mL of LPS for 4 hours with an IC50 of 25.1 µM. [3] Prednisolone inhibits the conversion of partially differentiated circulating leukocytes to a state capable of mitosis. [4] Prednisolone suppresses inhibitory activity of neutrophils to mycelial growth of Cundidu albicans. Subcutaneous pretreatment with prednisolone promotes the development of C. albicuns infection in ICR mice and facilitates the fatal outcome. [5] Prolonged infusion of prednisolone leads to an altered distribution pattern of the circulating lymphocytes among the organs. Prednisolone has a pronounced inhibitory effect on the return of the lymphocytes to the blood. [6]

Protocols

Prednisolone is dissolved to 30mM in ethanol, and diluted with complete medium just before experiments. [5]
