Deflazacort is a glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Deflazacort functions by binding to the cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor, leading to the formation of a receptor-ligand complex. This complex then translocates into the nucleus, where it modulates gene expression by binding to glucocorticoid response elements in the promoter region of target genes. This results in the upregulation of anti-inflammatory proteins and the downregulation of pro-inflammatory proteins, ultimately reducing the inflammatory response. Deflazacort inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, further contributing to its anti-inflammatory effects.
