Comment: Mapracorat is a novel non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor agonist (SEGRA) [3-4]. SEGRAs exert their pharmacological effect by activating only the transrepression pathway, which is in contrast to traditional glucocorticosteroids (GCs) which activate both the transactivation and transrepression pathways.The pharmaceutical industry is trying to develop new GCs that are as effective as traditional GCs, but with fewer limiting adverse effects. Mapracorat and GSK866 are prototype compounds that were designed to address this clinical need.
