| Bioactivity | Alclometasone (7a-Chloro-16a-methyl prednisolone) is a glucocorticoid and inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory mediators from leukocytes. Alclometasone can be used to relieve corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and allergic dermatitis[1]. |
| Target | IC50: glucocorticoid receptor |
| In Vivo | The prodrug of alclometasone is alclometasone dipropionate[2].Alclometasone dipropionate (subcutaneous injection; 1 % (w/v) arabic gum; 2 weeks) inhibits the activity of androgen-dependent cytochrome P450 and O-depropylation activity as a dose-dependent manner in male Slc-Wistar strain rats. However, it has no effects on hepatic drug metabolism in female rats or DS strain mice[2]. |
