Product Description
Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate sodium is an orally bioactive physiological glucocorticoid. Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate sodium inhibits the bioactivities of IL-6 and IL-3 with IC50s of 6.7 and 21.4 μM respectively. Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate sodium may be utilized in study/research of ulcerative colitis (UC).
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Glucocorticoid receptor (GR)
ln Vitro
Suppressed IL-6-dependent proliferation of MH60.BSF2 cells (IC₅₀ = 3.5 × 10⁻⁷ M)[1]
Inhibited lymphocyte proliferation in human tonsil cell cultures (91% inhibition at 10⁻⁵ M)[3]
With an IC50 of 6.7 and 21.4 μM, respectively, hydrocortisone sodium hemisuccinate suppresses the biological activities of IL-6 and IL-3. It has no cytotoxic effect on MH60 cells that are IL-6-independent [3]. In T lymphocyte and peripheral lymphocyte cultures, hydrocortisone sodium hemisuccinate (0.12–60 μM; 72 hours) suppresses phytohemagglutinin (PHA) responses [3].
ln Vivo
Loaded in pH-sensitive hydrogel significantly reduced colitis symptoms in mice (DAI score 1.8 vs. 4.2 in control)[2]
In mice, oral administration of hydrocortisone sodium hemisuccinate (30 mg/kg) twice a day for five days results in decreased weight loss and increased food intake [2].
Cell Assay
IL-6 bioactivity assay: MH60.BSF2 cells cultured with IL-6 and test compounds for 44h. Cell viability measured via MTT assay. Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate dissolved in ethanol and diluted in medium[1]
Lymphocyte suppression: Human tonsil cells cultured with phytohemagglutinin for 72h. Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate added at initiation. Proliferation assessed via ³H-thymidine incorporation[3]
Animal Protocol
Colitis treatment: Hydrocortisone hemisuccinate loaded in hydrogel (drug content 15% w/w). Administered rectally (100 mg/kg) to DSS-induced colitis mice daily for 7 days[2]
Animal/Disease Models: Male SD (SD (Sprague-Dawley)) rats (200-220 g, 10-11 weeks) induced colitis [2]
Doses: 30 mg/kg
Route of Administration: Po twice (two times) daily for 5 days
Experimental Results: Significant reduction in disease Activity index (DAI) scores and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity compared with the 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) group. Weight gain.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Colon-targeted hydrogel showed <10% drug release at pH 1.2 (stomach) vs. >80% at pH 7.4 (colon)[2]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No significant histological damage in colon tissues vs. free drug-induced mucosal atrophy[2]

Additional Infomation
Hydrocortisone succinate is a derivative of succinic acid in which one of the carboxy groups is esterified by the C-21 hydroxy group of cortisol (hydrocortisone). It is a dicarboxylic acid monoester, a hemisuccinate and a tertiary alpha-hydroxy ketone. It is functionally related to a cortisol.
Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate is 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.
Hydrocortisone Hemisuccinate is the synthetic hemisuccinate salt form of hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Hydrocortisone acetate initially binds to the cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor; then the receptor-ligand complex is translocated to the nucleus where it initiates the transcription of genes encoding for anti-inflammatory mediators, such as 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.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:
