Glucocorticoid Receptor Agonist Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2024
The glucocorticoid receptor (GR, or GCR), also known as NR3C1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1), is the receptor to which cortisol and other glucocorticoids bind. The GR is expressed in almost every cell in the body and regulates genes controlling the development, metabolism, and immune response. GCR Agonist drugs act by binding the glucocorticoid agonist, which induces a conformational change in the glucocorticoid receptor, leading to its activation. This activated receptor-ligand complex is then translocated into the nucleus. In the nucleus, the activated glucocorticoid receptor binds to specific DNA sequences known as glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) located in the regulatory regions of target genes, and once bound to the GREs, the activated glucocorticoid receptor complex interacts with other proteins and transcriptional co-regulators resulting in the recruitment of transcriptional machinery and the modulation of gene expression which will lead to the upregulation or downregulation of specific target genes.
GCR Agonist treats asthma, respiratory tract diseases, lung diseases, digestive system diseases, dermatitis, rhinitis, autoimmune disorders, and skin diseases. Increased prevalence of respiratory tract infections and allergic rhinitis are the key drivers for the GCR agonist market. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2021, around there were 4.6% of adults who have ever been diagnosed with COPD, emphysema, or chronic bronchitisThe introduction of newer products by market players may look for opportunities that greatly impact comprehensive research and development in GCR Agonist inhibitors. For instance, AstraZeneca launched Breztri Aerosphere to treat COPD. For instance, GSK’s GSK870086 Inhalation for the indication of Asthma is under the various stages of clinical studies.

The molecules such as Breztri Aerosphere (Budesonide/Glycopyrrolate/Formoterol Fumarate) developed by AstraZeneca are specifically indicated for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Breztri Aerosphere is formulated as an aerosol for oral inhalation. Moreover, Trelegy Ellipta (Fluticasone Furoate/Umeclidinium/Vilanterol) developed by GlaxoSmithKline is indicated for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and the maintenance treatment of asthma in patients aged 18 years and older. Trelegy Ellipta is formulated as a powder for oral inhalation.
