Glucocorticoids and corticosteroids exert anti-inflammatory and immune effects by mimicking the effects of hormones naturally produced by the adrenal glands. The main therapeutic applications of this class of compounds include inflammatory diseases such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Corticosteroids work by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators and suppressing immune responses. They act on specific inflammatory factors that are present in cells throughout the body, regulating gene expression and affecting various metabolic processes. Additionally, they are used to treat allergic reactions, organ transplants, and certain types of cancer.
