Description

ChEBI: A polypeptide hormone produced and secreted by the pituitary gland comprising 39 amino acid residues coupled in a linear sequence. The N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic act vity. Corticotropin stimulates the cortex of the adrenal gland and boosts the synthesis of corticosteroids, mainly glucocorticoids but also sex steroids (androgens). It is used in the treatment of certain neurological disorders such as infantile spasms

Solutions are stable to heat. an aqueous solution buffered to pH 7.5 may be put in a boiling water bath for at least 120 min. In 0.10 molar HCl an 0.2% solution retains its biological potency when kept at 100 °C for 60 min, but in 0.10 molar NaOH the activity is lost within 30 min. At 60 °C at 0.2% solution at pH 10.8 maintains its potency for 60 min. In general the substance is more stable in acid solution.

Corticotropin Use and Manufacturing

Hormonal drugs, which promote the secretion of adrenal cortex hormones, are used for collagen diseases such as active rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus erythematosus. Clinical use is similar to cortisone.

Drug Function and Efficacy

It can stimulate the adrenal cortex, causing it to proliferate and increase in weight, and increase the synthesis and secretion of adrenal cortical hormones, mainly glucocorticoids (cortisol). Mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) increase in the early stages of medication, but will no longer increase with continued medication. The synthesis and secretion of adrenal androgens also increase.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
