Abstract:
:Carbenoxolone potentiates the mineralocorticoid activity of endogenous glucocorticoid hormones by inhibiting the enzyme 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which converts cortisol and corticosterone to inactive 11-oxo-derivatives. We addressed the question of whether glucocorticoid activity is also affected by carbenoxolone. Using a rat model involving low dose corticosterone treatment, we found that carbenoxolone neither potentiated nor inhibited the modest increases in blood pressure or reductions in weight gain caused by steroid treatment. Other indices of glucocorticoid activity including white blood cell number, thymus weight, and down regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor were unaffected. In vitro studies with liver and kidney cytosol preparations indicated that carbenoxolone did compete for 3H-dexamethasone binding sites. Carbenoxolone was 5-10 times more effective than glycyrrhetinic acid, 20-30 thousand times less effective than dexamethasone, and is therefore, approximately 1000 times less effective than corticosterone. Analysis of dexamethasone-binding curves indicated a single class of receptor. We conclude that carbenoxolone at the dose tested does not have intrinsic glucocorticoid activity in vivo, nor does it modulate the activities of corticosterone. Carbenoxolone binds weakly to the glucocorticoid receptor. It is not clear whether this weak affinity accounts for some or any of the direct in vitro effects of high concentrations of carbenoxolone that others have described.
