    摘要: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation powder that contains 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17-OHPC) powder and the method of producing the formulation produces particles that are suitable as an inhalant. The formulations, methods and kits of powdered 17-OHPC as taught herein may be used to reduce cytokine interleukin-17 (IL-17 or IL-17A) levels in both broncheoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and blood/serum and involve the inhibition of p38 mitogen activating protein kinase (MAPK) activity. The 17-OHPC powder formulation may be used in a method to treat IL-17 cytokine and/or p38 MAPK mediated auto-immune and auto-inflammatory diseases. Such diseases may include glucocorticoid (GC) insensitive related diseases or conditions. In alternate embodiment, the formulation may include the combined use of budesonide (BUD) and/or fluticasone with 17-OPHC.

    摘要: The present application provides a use of hydroxyprogesterone caproate for treating multiple diseases that cause a cytokine storm, such as novel coronavirus pneumonia, various virulent virus infections, side effects after monoclonal antibody treatment, side effects after CAR-T treatment, inflammatory bowel disease, and acute pancreatitis. Moreover, the present application also provides a method for treating the diseases by using a corresponding pharmaceutical composition. Experimental results show that progestin hydroxyprogesterone caproate can effectively inhibit the cytokine storm and is expected to be an effective drug for treating diseases such as novel coronavirus pneumonia.

    摘要: A treatment method for interstitial pneumonia by means of hydroxyprogesterone caproate alone or in combination with other drugs, and corresponding pharmaceutical uses, and pharmaceutical compositions. Hydroxyprogesterone caproate can reduce pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis symptoms, reduce pulmonary collagen deposition, and reduce the levels of various inflammatory factors in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and plasma. Hydroxyprogesterone caproate combined with dexamethasone can improve lipid metabolism abnormalities caused by dexamethasone treatment alone.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and a composition for inhibiting cytokine storm in a subject in need thereof, in particular cytokine release from PBMCs induced by anti-CD28 antibody and/or anti-CD3 antibody, comprising administering progestogen to the subject. The results show that hydroxyprogesterone caproate could inhibit various cytokines release from PBMC induced by anti-CD28 antibody and/or anti-CD3 antibody in a concentration-dependent manner, and could be a potential drug for the treatment of cytokine storm.
