CAS 2135-17-3: Flumetasone
Description:Flumetasone is a synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, primarily used in dermatological applications. It is characterized by its potent glucocorticoid activity, which helps in reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms associated with various skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis. Flumetasone is typically formulated in topical preparations, allowing for localized treatment with minimal systemic absorption. Its chemical structure features a fluorinated steroid backbone, which enhances its anti-inflammatory efficacy compared to non-fluorinated corticosteroids. The substance is known for its relatively low systemic side effects when applied topically, making it a preferred choice in dermatology. Additionally, flumetasone exhibits a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, with a rapid onset of action and a duration of effect that supports its therapeutic use. As with all corticosteroids, caution is advised regarding prolonged use, as it may lead to skin atrophy or other local adverse effects. Overall, flumetasone serves as an effective option in managing inflammatory skin disorders.
