CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Like other topical corticosteroids, clobetasol propionate 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
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 t
