----------
DESCRIPTION
Mometasone Furoate Cream 0.1% contains mometasone furoate, USP for
dermatologic use.
Mometasone furoate is a synthetic corticosteroid with
anti-inflammatory activity.
Chemically, mometasone furoate is
9α,21-Dichloro-11β,17-dihydroxy-16α-methylpregna-1,4-diene-
3,20-dione 17-(2-furoate), with the empirical formula C
H CI O , a molecular weight of 521.4 and
the following structural formula:
Mometasone furoate is a white to off-white powder practically
insoluble in water, slightly soluble in
octanol, and moderately soluble in ethyl alcohol.
Each gram of Mometasone Furoate Cream 0.1% contains: 1 mg mometasone
furoate, USP in a cream
base of hexylene glycol, phosphoric acid, propylene glycol stearate,
stearyl alcohol and ceteareth-20,
titanium dioxide, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, white wax, white
petrolatum, and purified water.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Like other topical corticosteroids, mometasone furoate 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 dressings with
hydrocortisone for up to 24 hours have not been demonstrated to
increase penetration; however,
occlusion of hydrocortisone for 96 hours markedly enhances
penetration.
Studies in humans indicate that approximately 0.4% of the applied dose
