Common Name

Hydrocortisone

Class

Small Molecule

Description

Hydrocortisone, or cortisol, is a glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex. Cortisol is used to treat immune, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions. It was discovered in the 1930s by Edward Kendall and named Compound F, or 17-hydroxycorticosterone. Cortisol was granted FDA approval on 5 August 1952.
