The glucocorticoid receptor (GR[1][1]), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), progesterone receptor (PR), and androgen receptor (AR) are classic members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, composing subfamily 3C. Members of this subfamily are among those receptors that were cloned the earliest, with the

Chapter 95 – Corticosteroids
Differential interactions of antiretroviral agents with LXR, ER and GR nuclear receptors: potential contributing factors to adverse events
TLDR
The closely related liver X receptors, oestrogen receptors and glucocorticoid receptor regulate many endogenous processes such as lipid/cholesterol homeostasis, cellular differentiation and inflammation.
Steroidal Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists: Synthesis and Biology
TLDR
The development of selective steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists with improved pharmacological profiles over existing marketed drugs is an attractive goal and new spirolactones 11 and 20 were identified with promising biological profiles.
Nuclear Hormone Receptor Medicinal Chemistry
This chapter will be focused on recent advances in the medicinal chemistry of agonist, antagonist, and modulator ligands of selected nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs) that are of special interest in…
Tissue-specific glucocorticoid action: a family affair
Opportunities for development of novel therapies targeting steroid hormone receptors
TLDR
Opportunities and challenges in the development of novel therapeutic agents targeting members of the steroid hormone receptors are discussed.
Met909 Plays a Key Role in the Activation of the Progesterone Receptor and Also in the High Potency of 13-Ethyl Progestins
TLDR
The crystal structure of the ligand-binding domain of the human PR complexed with levonorgestrel, a potent testosterone-derived progestin characterized by a 13-ethyl substituent, is solved and provides a structural guideline for the rational synthesis of potent PR agonist and antagonist ligands that could have therapeutic uses in women's health.
Structures of androgen receptor bound with ligands: advancing understanding of biological functions and drug discovery
TLDR
The structures of AR-ligand complexes are an invaluable scientific asset that enhances the understanding of biological functions and mechanisms of androgenic and anti-androgenic chemicals as well as promotes the discovery of superior drug candidates.
Selective androgen receptor modulators in preclinical and clinical development
TLDR
This review summarizes the current standing of research and development of Selective androgen receptor modulators, crystallography of AR with SARMs, plausible mechanisms for their action and the potential therapeutic indications for this emerging class of drugs.
Evidence to Support The Non-Genomic Modulation of The HPA Axis
TLDR
The evidence supporting a role for non-genomic effects of the stress hormone corticosterone in the body’s response to stress is reviewed.
