Corticorelin is indicated for use in differentiating pituitary and ectopic production of ACTH in patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome.
FDA Label
In normal subjects, intravenous administration of corticorelin results in a rapid and sustained increase of plasma ACTH levels and a near parallel increase of plasma cortisol. In addition, intravenous administration of corticorelin to normal subjects causes a concomitant and prolonged release of the related proopiomelanocortin peptides - and -lipotropins ( -and -LPH) and -endorphin ( -END).
Absorption
Plasma ACTH levels in normal subjects increased 2 minutes after injection of corticorelin doses of 0.3 mcg/kg and reached peak levels after 10-15 minutes. Plasma cortisol levels increased within 10 minutes and reached peak levels at 30 to 60 minutes.
Volume of Distribution
The mean volume of distribution for IR-corticorelin is 6.2 0.5 L
Clearance
95 11 L/m2/day
Plasma half-lives for IR-corticorelin are 11.6 1.5 minutes (mean SE) for the fast component and 73 8 minutes for the slow component.
Corticorelin is a potent stimulator of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) release from the anterior pituitary. It is used as a diagnostic agent to evaluate the status of the pituitary-adrenal axis in the differentiation of a pituitary source from an ectopic source of excessive ACTH secretion.
