NCIt definition : The sodium salt of hydrocortisone succinate with glucocorticoid property. Hydrocortisone
sodium succinate is chemically similar to the endogenous hormone that stimulates anti-inflammatory
and immunosuppressive activities, in addition to exhibiting minor mineralocorticoid
effects. This agent binds to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors and is translocated
into the nucleus, where it initiates the transcription of glucocorticoid-responsive
genes, such as various cytokines and lipocortins. Lipocortins inhibit phospholipase
A2, thereby blocking the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids and
preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, both potent mediators
of inflammation.;
