DESCRIPTION
Prednisone is a glucocorticoid. Glucocorticoids are adrenocortical
steroids, both naturally occurring
and synthetic, which are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tract. The molecular formula for
prednisone is C H O . Chemically, it is 17, 21-dihydroxypregna-1,
4-diene-3,11,20-trione and has the
following structural formula:
Prednisone is a white to practically white, odorless, crystalline
powder and has a molecular weight of
358.44. It melts at about 230°C with some decomposition. Prednisone
is very slightly soluble in water;
slightly soluble in alcohol, chloroform, dioxane, and methanol. Each
tablet, for oral administration,
contains 1 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg of prednisone.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Naturally occurring glucocorticoids (hydrocortisone and cortisone),
which also have salt-retaining
properties, are used as replacement therapy in adrenocortical
deficiency states. Their synthetic analogs
are primarily used for their potent anti-inflammatory effects in
disorders of many organ systems.
Glucocorticoids, such as prednisone, cause profound and varied
metabolic effects. In addition, they
modify the body's immune responses to diverse stimuli.
