Abbreviated New Drug Application
HYDROCORTISONE VALERATE- HYDROCORTISONE VALERATE CREAM COSETTE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. ---------- HYDROCORTISONE VALERATE CREAM USP, 0.2% FOR DERMATOLOGIC USE ONLY. NOT FOR OPHTHALMIC USE. RX ONLY DESCRIPTION Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% contains hydrocortisone valerate, 11, 21- dihydroxy-17-[(1-oxopentyl)oxy]-(11β)-pregn-4-ene-3, 20-dione, a synthetic corticosteroid for topical dermatologic use. The corticosteroids constitute a class of primarily synthetic steroids used topically as anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agents. Chemically, hydrocortisone valerate is C H O . It has the following structural formula: Hydrocortisone valerate has a molecular weight of 446.58. It is a white, crystalline solid, soluble in ethanol and methanol, sparingly soluble in propylene glycol and insoluble in water. Each gram of hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% contains 2 mg hydrocortisone valerate in a hydrophilic base composed of carbomer 940, dibasic sodium phosphate, methylparaben, polyoxyl 2 stearyl ether, propylene glycol, purified water, sodium lauryl sulfate, steareth-100, stearyl alcohol and white petrolatum. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Like other topical corticosteroids, hydrocortisone valerate has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive properties. The mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of the topical steroids, in general, is unclear. However, corticosteroids are 26 38 6 thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A . PHARMACOKINETICS The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle and the integrity of the epidermal barrier.
