Prednisone is a corticosteroid may have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant properties. Prednisone functions by binding to intracellular glucocorticoid receptors, leading to the upregulation of anti-inflammatory genes and the downregulation of pro-inflammatory genes. This results in the suppression of the immune response and the reduction of inflammation.
