clobetasol propionate, a synthetic
corticosteroid, for topical dermatologic use. Clobetasol, an analog of
prednisolone, has a high degree
of glucocorticoid activity and a slight degree of mineralocorticoid
activity.
Chemically, clobetasol propionate is
21-Chloro-9-fluoro-11β,17-dihydroxy-16β-methylpregna-1,4-
diene-3,20-dione 17-propionate, and it has the following structural
formula:
Clobetasol propionate has the molecular formula C
H ClFO and a molecular weight of 466.98. It is
a white to cream-colored crystalline powder insoluble in water.
Clobetasol propionate topical solution contains clobetasol propionate
0.05% (0.5 mg/g) in a base
composed of purified water, isopropyl alcohol (39.3%), carbomer 934P
and sodium hydroxide. It may
also contain hydrochloric acid to adjust pH.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
The corticosteroids are a class of compounds comprising steroid
hormones secreted by the adrenal
cortex and their synthetic analogs. In pharmacologic doses,
corticosteroids are used primarily for their
anti-inflammatory and/or immunosuppressive effects. Topical
corticosteroids such as clobetasol
propionate are effective in the treatment of corticosteroid-responsive
dermatoses primarily because of
their anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions.
However, while the physiologic,
pharmacologic, and clinical effects of the corticosteroids are well
known, the exact mechanisms of

pharmacologic, and clinical effects of the corticosteroids are well

their actions in each disease are uncertain.
Clobetasol propionate, a corticosteroid, has been shown to have

pharmacologic and metabolic effects
