Flumethasone (Flumetasone) is an orally active, high selective and potent glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonist. Flumethasone activates GR to inhibit nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB)-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta) and promotes anti-inflammatory gene expression (IL-10), while also regulating metabolic enzyme activity (tyrosine aminotransferase induction). Flumethasone is promising for research of inflammatory diseases, cancer, and endocrine regulation[1][2][3][4].
