NCIt definition : The acetate salt form of cortisone, a synthetic or semisynthetic analog of the naturally
occurring cortisone hormone produced by the adrenal glands with anti-inflammatory
and immunomodulating properties. Cortisone acetate diffuses through the cell membrane
and binds to nuclear glucocorticoid receptors. The receptor-ligand complex binds to
promotor regions of certain genes and initiates RNA transcription. This results in
an induction of synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the
synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators.;
