Description

Halcinonide (SQ-18566) is a high potency corticosteroid used topically in the treatment of certain skin conditions.


Halcinonide is an organic molecular entity. It has a role as a SMO receptor agonist.|Halcinonide is a corticosteroid indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses, and is distributed as a cream and ointment. Halcinonide is marketed under the brand name Halog® by Ranbaxy Laboratories Inc. Research suggests that clobetasol propionate demonstrates superior pharmacologic efficacy in the treatment of psoriasis when compared to halcinonide.|Halcinonide is a Corticosteroid. The mechanism of action of halcinonide is as a Corticosteroid Hormone Receptor Agonist.|Halcinonide is a topical, synthetic glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Halcinonide exerts its effect by interacting with specific intracellular receptors, and the ligand-receptor complex subsequently modulates gene expressions via the typical glucocorticoid signalling pathway. This results in the synthesis of certain anti-inflammatory proteins as well as in synthesis inhibition of certain inflammatory mediators. Consequently, an overall reduction in chronic inflammation and autoimmune reactions are accomplished. (NCI05)|A glucocorticoid used topically in the treatment of DERMATITIS; ECZEMA; or PSORIASIS. It may cause skin irritation.

Toxicity

Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, manifestations of Cushing’s syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients. Conditions which augment systemic absorption include the application of the more potent steroids, use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and the addition of occlusive dressings.

Drug Information

Indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.|FDA Label

Substances that reduce or suppress INFLAMMATION. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Inflammatory Agents.)

The precise mechanism of action of topical corticosteroids is unclear. However they possess anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions. New research indicates that halcinonide activates MBP (myelin basic protein) expression via smoothened receptor activation. This finding suggests that halcinonide could be used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis therapy as an alternative to Dexamethasone or Methylprednisolone.

Drug Function and Efficacy

This product is a highly effective fluorinated and chlorinated corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive effects. Its anti-inflammatory and antipruritic mechanism is to increase the responsiveness of β receptors to catecholamine, increase CAMP production by activating adenylate cyclase, and inhibit phosphoethylesterase to reduce CAMP destruction, resulting in an increase in cAMP concentration in cells and inhibiting the release of histamine. This product has a similar effect as dexamethasone in inhibiting the proliferation of granulomas in rats and mice.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
