Desisobutyryl-ciclesonide

SKU: orb1707988

Description

Desisobutyryl-ciclesonide (CIC-AP) is the pharmacologically active metabolite of the anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid ciclesonide, acting via the glucocorticoid receptor. It is widely used in research to study glucocorticoid receptor signaling and anti-inflammatory mechanisms in both in vitro cellular assays and in vivo models of respiratory inflammation.

Bioactivity

• In Vivo:
  In a bleomycin-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) neonatal rat model, systemic administration of Desisobutyryl-ciclesonide significantly reduced inflammation with less impact on weight gain, serum IGF-1, and glucose levels compared to dexamethasone, suggesting a safer profile for developmental outcomes.

• In Vitro:
  Desisobutyryl-ciclesonide showed approximately 120-fold higher binding affinity for the glucocorticoid receptor compared to ciclesonide, and about 12-fold higher than dexamethasone. In Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from atopic asthmatic children sensitized to Phleum pratense (PhlP5), Desisobutyryl-ciclesonide at as low as 0.003 μM already reduced PhlP5-specific proliferation, with complete inhibition at 0.03 μM (vs. 3 μM for ciclesonide). In cultures stimulated with PhlP5, 3 μM Desisobutyryl-ciclesonide significantly reduced the proliferation of PhlP5-specific T-cell blasts and decreased the proportion of interleukin-4 (IL-4) producing cells, indicating suppression of Th2 inflammatory response.
