Hydrocortisone-17-butyrate

Описание

Hydrocortisone 17-butyrate: a new non-fluorinated topical corticosteroid.
Hydrocortisone 17-butyrate could be used in psoriasis, eczema and other inflammatory dermatoses. It may be found in creams, lotions, ointments, and powders and in ear, nose and eye drops for rhinitis, otitis, and conjunctivitis. In double-blind paired comparisons with other topical corticosteroids, the efficacy of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 0.1% has generally been indistinguishable from that of triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%, fluocinolone acetonide 0.025% or betamethasone 17-valerate 0.1% in patients with eczema or psoriasis. When applied to the face of patients with atrophy superimposed on rosacea and perioral dermatitis resulting from prolonged use of fluorinated topical corticosteroids, hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 0.1% did not prevent the beneficial effect of systemic tetracycline nor the disappearance of telangiectasis and tended to be more effective than hydrocortisone 1%[1].

Hydrocortisone 17-butyrate is a C 17 ester of hydrocorti- sone. It represents the D2 group of corticosteroids, non C 16 methylated with a C 17 ester: hydrocortisone 17-butyrate, hydrocortisone 17-valerate, hydrocortisone aceponate (17-propionate and 21-acetate), methylpred- nisolone aceponate, and prednicarbate. It is sometimes hydrolyzed in vivo into hydrocortisone, giving allergic reactions to group-A-sensitized people.
