Cosyntropin is a synthetic polypeptide that consists of amino acid residues 1 through 24 of human, but that has the full biological activity of its parent. Because it is of synthetic origin, it is less allergenic than of natural origin. Cosyntropin is used as a diagnostic agent in the screening of patients suspected of having adrenocortical insufficiency. Normally, parenteral administration of cosyntropin acts rapidly on the adrenal cortex to effect release of plasma hydrocor tisone; when performing the test, the hydrocor tisone levels are compared to a control blood sample taken earlier.

Uses
Cosyntropin is used primarily as an alternative to ACT to test for adrenocortical insufficiency (Addison's), or hyperadrenocorticism, particularly in animals who have reacted immunologically to corticotropin in the past or if ACT gel is unavailable.
