Disease
[GCR_HUMAN] Defects in NR3C1 are a cause of glucocorticoid resistance (GCRES) [MIM:138040]; also known as cortisol resistance. It is a hypertensive, hyperandrogenic disorder characterized by increased serum cortisol concentrations. Inheritance is autosomal dominant.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Function
[GCR_HUMAN] Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE), both for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and as a modulator of other transcription factors. Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Could act as a coactivator for STAT5-dependent transcription upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation and could reveal an essential role of hepatic GR in the control of body growth. Involved in chromatin remodeling. Plays a significant role in transactivation.[6]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
We report the discovery of highly potent and selective non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor modulators with PK properties suitable for inhalation. A high throughput screen of the AstraZeneca compound collection identified sulfonamide 3 as a potent non-steroidal glucocorticoid receptor ligand. Further optimization of this lead generated indazoles 30 and 48 that were progressed to characterization in in vivo models. X-ray crystallography was used to gain further insight into the binding mode of selected ligands.
