CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Like other topical corticosteroids, triamcinolone acetonide 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
2
release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid
is released from
membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A
.
PHARMACOKINETICS
The extent of absorption through the oral mucosa is determined by
multiple factors
including the vehicle, the integrity of the mucosal barrier, the
duration of therapy, and
the presence of inflammation and/or other disease processes. Once
absorbed through
the mucous membranes, the disposition of corticosteroids is similar to
that of
systemically administered corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are bound
to the plasma
proteins in varying degrees. Corticosteroids are metabolized primarily
in the liver and are
then excreted by the k
