Diflucortolone (used in the form of valerate prodrug) is a corticosteroid developed for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. It is supposed that Diflucortolone acts by inducing Annexin A1, a phospholipase A2 inhibitory protein, and thus controls the biosynthesis of prostagladins and leukotrienes. The drug is marketed as a cream under the tradename Nerisone.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Apply a thin layer and gently rub in using only enough to cover the affected area once or twice a day for a maximum of 4 weeks.

Route of Administration: Topical

In Vitro Use Guide

In the vasoconstriction test on human skin, in which hyperemia has been experimentally induced, a water/oil emulsion with 0.001% diflucortolone valerate is as effective as a similar preparation containing 0.1% fluocortolone.
