Biological Activity
| ln Vivo | The application of clobetazone butyrate (0.05%; 7 weeks) topically may result in thinned epidermis. For a period of seven weeks, clobetazone butyrate had a significantly less effect on epidermal thinning in pigs than flunandrolone (0.05%). or 0.025 percent fluocinolone acetonide, both of which thin the skin of pigs. extreme atrophy [1]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Large white domestic pig [1] Doses: 0.5% Skin application administration time: 7 weeks Experimental Results: Caused moderate to mild atrophy. |

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO : ≥ 250 mg/mL (~521.94 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 6.25 mg/mL (13.05 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 62.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
