Description

Application

Corticosterone: HBC complex has been used:

• in the intravenous and intraperitoneal administration of corticosterone to rats to test its effect on glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid activity[1]
• to induce acute stress in mice[2]
• in Pulsatile treatment in mice to test its effect on clock gene period 1 transcription[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions

The complex of corticosterone with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBC) improves water solubility. HBC is a carrier molecule.[4] Corticosterone is a rodent-specific primary adrenal corticosteroid. It displays affinity towards the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors.[5]

Preparation Note

Corticosterone content: 66.7 mg/g. When 1 g of complex is reconstituted with water to a total volume of 2.12 mL, a solution which is 90.8 mM in corticosterone is obtained. Corticosterone itself is virtually insoluble in water.

Other Notes

Preformed water-soluble complex of corticosterone and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. Package size is total weight of both the corticosterone and the 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. Corticosterone content: 66.7 mg/g
