Description

Description: Ciclesonide is a prodrug of the potent glucocorticoid receptor agonist desisobutyryl-ciclesonide. Ciclesonide undergoes the hydrolysis process by ester cleavage at the C21 position to desisobutyryl-ciclesonide, followed by reversible formation of fatty acid esters in lung cells. Although both ciclesonide and desisobutyryl-ciclesonide are able to bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, the active metabolite desisobutyryl-ciclesonide (IC50 = 210 nM) is about 100-fold more potent than the parent compound ciclesonide (IC50 = 1.75 nM). Formulations containing ciclesonide have been used in the maintenance treatment of asthma and in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. References:1. Derendorf H, Nave R, Drollmann A, et al.
