fluorometholone
to a specific field?
There is one exact (name or code) match for fluorometholone
Status:
US Approved Rx
(1972)
Source:
NDA016851
(1972)
Source URL:
First approved in 1959
Class (Stereo):
CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Conditions:
Fluorometholone is a glucocorticoid employed, usually as eye drops, in the treatment of allergic and inflammatory conditions of the eye. Corticosteroids such as fluorometholone inhibit the inflammatory response to a variety of inciting agents and probably delay or slow healing. There is no generally accepted explanation for the mechanism of action of ocular corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2. Corticosteroids are capable of producing a rise in intraocular pressure. In clinical studies of documented steroid-responders, fluorometholone demonstrated a significantly longer average time to produce a rise in intraocular pressure than dexamethasone phosphate.

Targets:
Isoorientin is a common C-glycosyl flavone in the human diet. It has been isolated from several plant species, including Phyllostachys pubescens, Crataegus monogyna and Crataegus pentagyna, Patrinia villosa Juss, Drosophyllum lusitanicum, buckwheat, Arum palaestinum, and Rumex and Swertia. Isoorientin possesses significant anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. Significantly protected PC12 nerve cells from 6-OHDA-induced apoptotic neurotoxicity and reduced the proliferation of HepG2 cells. Isoorientin showed anti-RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) activity.
