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
- to induce acute stress in mice
- in Pulsatile treatment in mice to test its effect on clock gene period 1 transcription
Biochem/physiol Actions
The complex of corticosterone with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBC) improves water solubility. HBC is a carrier molecule. Corticosterone is a rodent-specific primary adrenal corticosteroid. It displays affinity towards the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors.
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

In vivo glucocorticoid (GC) secretion exhibits a distinctive ultradian rhythmicity. The lipophilic hormone can rapidly diffuse into cells, although only the pulse peak is of sufficient amplitude to activate the low affinity glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Discrete pulses readily access brain

Herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) infect and establish latency in peripheral neurons, from which they can reactivate to cause recurrent disease throughout the life of the host. Stress is associated with the exacerbation of clinical symptoms
