Methylprednisolone

Synonyms: NSC-19987, U 7532

Methylprednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid receptor agonist, used to achieve prompt suppression of inflammation. Methylprednisolone activates ACE2 and reduces IL-6 levels, thus improves severe or critical COVID-19. Methylprednisolone markedly reduces autophagy and apoptosis.

Methylprednisolone (2-10 mg/kg) markedly inhibits TNF production but does not affect serum levels of IL-10, while a high methylprednisolone dose (50 mg/kg) increases LPS-induced IL-10 levels. Methylprednisolone(from 0.01 to 100 mg/mL) also increases the biosynthesis of IL-10 by LPS-activated mouse peritoneal macrophages. [1]

Methylprednisolone decreases RGC survival in rats with electrophysiologically diagnosed optic neuritis. Methylprednisolone decreases RGC survival by a nongenomic, calcium-dependent mechanism. Methylprednisolone-induced enhancement of RGC degeneration depends on calcium influx through voltage-gated calcium channels. [2] Methylprednisolone treatment leads to a significant decrease in the number of ED1-positive cells in both rostral and caudal stumps. Methylprednisolone treatment results in a significant reduction in tissue loss in both cord stumps at 2, 4 and 8 week post-injury. Methylprednisolone leads to a long-term reduction of ED1-positive cells and spinal tissue loss, reduced dieback of vestibulospinal fibres, and a transient sprouting of vestibulospinal fibres near the lesion at 1 and 2 weeks post-lesion. [3] Methylprednisolone at a dose of 30 mg/kg which has been shown to be effective in improving functional outcomes in rat SCI models, suppresses TNF-α expression and NF-kB activation. Methylprednisolone inhibition of NF-kB function is likely mediated by the induction of IkB, which traps NF-kB in inactive cytoplasmic complexes. [4]

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
