CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Like other topical corticosteroids, fluocinolone 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 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 determ
