Application

Triamcinolone has been used as a corticosteroid standard for LC-MS-MS analysis. Triamcinolone has also been used to study its effect on IgG and IgE levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Triamcinolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid agonist; induces gene expression and apoptosis; inhibits prostaglandin synthesis; impairs tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced degradation of κB-α; potentiates the differentiation-inducing effects of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP-2, -4, -6).
