[Classification of corticoids]

J F Moskovtchenko, J B Cognet

    Annales De L'Anesthesiologie Francaise
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Synthetic corticoids can be classified by their glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid activity ratios. Structural modifications create numerous new drugs with varied activities, impacting pharmacological applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Endocrinology
    • Medicinal Chemistry

    Context:

    • Corticoids are crucial endogenous and synthetic steroid hormones.
    • Understanding their activity spectrum is vital for therapeutic applications.

    Purpose:

    • To establish a pharmacological classification system for corticoids.
    • To explain the basis for the large number of synthetic corticoids available.

    Summary:

    • A classification of corticoids is proposed based on the ratio of glucocorticoid to mineralocorticoid activities.
    • The extensive variety of synthetic corticoids arises from minor structural alterations, leading to diverse activity profiles.

    Impact:

    • This classification aids in understanding structure-activity relationships of corticoids.
    • Facilitates the development of novel corticoids with tailored therapeutic effects.
