Halcinonide solution

Function and Efficacy

1 Anti-inflammatory effect This product is a topical drug, a highly effective fluorinated and chlorinated corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, anti-itching and vasoconstriction effects. This product replaces the 21-hydroxyl group with a chlorine atom on the skeleton of triamcinolone. Its anti-inflammatory potency is 360 times as determined by the vasoconstriction test. There is evidence that the intensity of the vasoconstriction test is consistent with the efficacy. Its anti-inflammatory and antipruritic mechanism is to increase the responsiveness of the receptor to catecholamine, increase the production of cAMP by activating adenylate cyclase, and reduce the destruction of cAMP by inhibiting phosphoethylesterase, resulting in an increase in the annual concentration of cAMP in cells and inhibiting the release of histamine. The effect of this product in inhibiting the proliferation of granulomas in rats and mice is similar to that of dexamethasone. Using the formaldehyde-induced heel swelling method for mice and rats, this product and dexamethasone both have significant inhibitory effects, while hydrocortisone with a 5-fold higher dose has no inhibitory effect. This product has a significant weight loss effect on the thymus and spleen. 2 Selective pharmacological effects on various types of cells: reduce the number of T lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils, inhibit lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production, inhibit macrophage differentiation and phagocytic activity, inhibit neutrophil adhesion, reduce vascular endothelial cell permeability, inhibit fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, and inhibit sebaceous gland cell activity. 3 Anti-proliferative effect This product has an anti-mitotic effect. It reduces the transcription of PNA, thereby reducing DNA synthesis, and also affects DNA repair, resulting in thinning of the epidermis, especially the greatest impact on collagen synthesis. 4 Immunosuppressive effect This product binds to the corticosteroid receptors in the cytoplasm, causing a series of reactions and activating the expression of lytic genes in the cells; it induces nuclear DNA lysis in lymphocytes and directly kills lymphocytes.
