NCIt definition : The acetonide salt form of triamcinolone, a synthetic glucocorticosteroid with immunosuppressive
and anti-inflammatory activity. Triamcinolone acetonide binds to specific cytosolic
glucocorticoid receptors and subsequently interacts with glucocorticoid receptor response
element on DNA and alters gene expression. This results in an induction of the synthesis
of certain anti-inflammatory proteins while inhibiting the synthesis of certain inflammatory
mediators. Consequently, an overall reduction in chronic inflammation and autoimmune
reactions are accomplished.;
