Medrysone
Medrysone is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a corticosteroid used in ophthalmology. [Wikipedia]There is no generally accepted explanation for the mechanism of action of ocular corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2. Initially, the drug binds to the glucocorticoid receptor in the cytosol. This migrates to the nucleus and binds to genetic elements which cause activation and repression of the involved genes in the inflammatory pathway.

Vestitol
The S-enantiomer of vestitol. Vestitol is a member of the class of hydroxyisoflavans that is isoflavan substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 7 and 2 and a methoxy group at position 4. Isolated from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, it exhibits anti-inflammatory activity. It has a role as an anti-inflammatory agent, a plant metabolite and a phytoalexin. It is an aromatic ether, a member of hydroxyisoflavans and a methoxyisoflavan. Vestitol is a natural product found in Lotus japonicus, Medicago rugosa, and other organisms with data available. A member of the class of hydroxyisoflavans that is isoflavan substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 7 and 2 and a methoxy group at position 4. Isolated from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, it exhibits anti-inflammatory activity.
