DESCRIPTION
Hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% contains hydrocortisone
valerate, 11,2l-
dihydroxy-17-[(l-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 to off white,
crystalline powder, soluble in ethanol, chloroform and acetone,
slightly soluble in
isopropanol and insoluble in water.
Each gram of hydrocortisone valerate cream USP, 0.2% contains 2mg
hydrocortisone
valerate in a hydrophilic base composed of carbomer 980, 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
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. Occlusive
