Hydrocortisone (cortisol) is an endogenous steroid secreted by the adrenal cortex.

Topical or injected synthetic hydrocortisone is used for treating a range of pathologies, such as inflammation, allergy, rheumatic diseases, and adrenocortical deficiency. Increased dermal penetration of hydrocortisone can be of great advantage e.g. in breaking down superficial scar tissue and the treating of sports injuries.

HYDROCORTISONE

- Molecular Formula: C₂₁H₃₀NO₅

- Molecular Weight: 362.5 g/mol

- Hydrocortisone is a synthetic, ketone derivative of cortisol and consists of multiple hydrocarbon rings that make Hydrocortisone a non-polar compound. The Dermaportation results were achieved without the use of any penetration enhancers.
