Difluprednate is a topical corticosteroid and prednisolone acetate derivative, with anti-inflammatory activity. Upon instillation into the eye, difluprednate binds to and activates the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The receptor-ligand complex binds to promoter regions of certain genes and initiates RNA transcription. This results in an induction of synthesis of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of arachidonic acid and preventing the synthesis of certain inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This reduces ocular inflammation and pain.

4.2 Drug Indication

FDA Label


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Difluprednate is a corticosteroid used as an anti-inflammatory steroidal drug used primarily in ocular surgery.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Glucocorticoids

A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system. (See all compounds classified as Glucocorticoids.)


5.3 ATC Code

D - Dermatologicals

D07 - Corticosteroids, dermatological preparations

D07A - Corticosteroids, plain

D07AC - Corticosteroids, potent (group iii)

D07AC19 - Difluprednate


5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Difluprednate penetrates the corneal epithelium rapidly and effectively. Low systemic absorption.


Route of Elimination

78.5% of radioactivity was excreted aftert 24 hours, and 99.5% by 7 days after a single dose of labeled difluprednate instilled in the right eyes of pigmented rabbits.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Difluprednate is rapidly deacetylated in the aqueous humor to difluoroprednisolone butyrate (DFB), the drugs active metabolite. Endogenous tissue esterases then metabolize DFB to the inert metabolite hydroxyfluoroprednisolone butyrate (HFB), which limits systemic exposure to the active compound.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins). It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of infammation 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.
