acetate which is the 6-
methyl derivative of prednisolone. Methylprednisolone acetate is a
white or practically white, odorless,

steroids.
Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and cortisone),

properties, are used in replacement therapy in adrenocortical
deficiency states. Their synthetic analogs
are used primarily for their anti-inflammatory effects in disorders of
many organ systems.
