Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
As an agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor, rimexolone modulates expression of genes containing the glucocorticoid response element (GRE). Although complex, the response appears to include inhibition of the biosynthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes. However, we have been unable to find affinity data for this drug to substantiate its MMOA.
