Alclometasone  (Synonyms: 7a-​Chloro-​16a-​methyl prednisolone)

Alclometasone (7a-Chloro-16a-methyl prednisolone) is a glucocorticoid and inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory mediators from leukocytes. Alclometasone can be used to relieve corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, including atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and allergic dermatitis^[1].

IC50: glucocorticoid receptor^[1]

The prodrug of alclometasone is alclometasone dipropionate^[2].Alclometasone dipropionate (subcutaneous injection; 1 % (w/v) arabic gum; 2 weeks) inhibits the activity of androgen-dependent cytochrome P450 and O-depropylation activity as a dose-dependent manner in male Slc-Wistar strain rats. However, it has no effects on hepatic drug metabolism in female rats or DS strain mice^[2].
