Ophthalmic corticosteroids are indicated in the treatment of corticosteroid-responsive allergic and inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe. /Corticosteroids (Ophthalmic); Included in US product labeling/
Thomson/Micromedex. Drug Information for the Health Care Professional. Volume 1, Greenwood Village, CO. 2007., p. 906
VET: Hormonal therapy for neoplasia commonly involves the use of glucocorticoids. Direct antitumor effects are related to their lympholytic properties; glucocorticoids can inhibit mitosis, RNA synthesis, and protein synthesis in sensitive lymphocytes. Glucocorticoids are considered cell-cycle nonspecific and are often used in chemotherapeutic protocols after induction by another agent. Prednisolone /is/ commonly used to treat lymphoreticular neoplasms in combination with other drugs. Because /it/ readily enters the CSF, ... prednisolone /is/ especially useful in treatment of leukemias and lymphomas of the CNS.
Kahn, C.M. (Ed.); The Merck Veterinary Manual 9th ed. Merck & Co. Whitehouse Station, NJ. 2005, p. 2150

Side effects and compliance were examined in 63 pediatric patients (ages 10 mo-14 yr) with acute asthma who received an oral dose of 1-2 mg/kg prednisolone (Solone; Panafcortelone) as a whole or crushed tablet or in liquid form for 7 days. Up to 44% of patients either refused to take or vomited the drug on the first day. Improved acceptability of prednisolone occurred with time, but prescribing practices indicated short-term treatment of 1 to 4 days was common. Abdominal pain and mood changes occurred in 19% and 80% of patients, respectively, at some stage of the study period. It was concluded that oral prednisolone is poorly tolerated in pediatric patients and its use may lead to suboptimal therapy.
Dawson KP et al; Aust J Hosp Pharm 22 (Aug): 278-82 (1992)
Glucocorticoid use in children is not only associated with the side effects which are seen in adults, but also with severe adverse effects on statural growth. As little as 2.5-5.0 mg prednisolone/day can cause a retardation in statural growth. A direct relationship exists between the dose of glucocorticoid used and statural growth. The use of knemometry, a sensitive technique for measuring the growth of long bones in children has increased the accuracy of growth rate measurements. Many factors, such as disease process, sex, daily vs alternate day therapy, ethnic variations or whether the patient has been immobilized must be considered when evaluating the effects on stature of a particular glucocorticoid.

Prednisolone is indicated to treat endocrine, rheumatic, and hematologic disorders; collagen, dermatologic, ophthalmic, respiratory, and gastrointestinal diseases; allergic and edematous states; and other conditions like tuberculous meningitis.
FDA Label
Alleviation of inflammatory and clinical parameters associated with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) in horses, in combination with environmental control.
Corticosteroids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, inhibiting pro-inflammatory signals, and promoting anti-inflammatory signals. Prednisolone has a short duration of action as the half life is 2.1-3.5 hours. Corticosteroids have a wide therapeutic window as patients make require doses that are multiples of what the body naturally produces. Patients taking corticosteroids should be counselled regarding the risk of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression and increased susceptibility to infections.
Anti-Inflammatory Agents
Substances that reduce or suppress INFLAMMATION. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Inflammatory Agents.)
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.

Antineoplastic Agents, Hormonal
Antineoplastic agents that are used to treat hormone-sensitive tumors. Hormone-sensitive tumors may be hormone-dependent, hormone-responsive, or both. A hormone-dependent tumor regresses on removal of the hormonal stimulus, by surgery or pharmacological block. Hormone-responsive tumors may regress when pharmacologic amounts of hormones are administered regardless of whether previous signs of hormone sensitivity were observed. The major hormone-responsive cancers include carcinomas of the breast, prostate, and endometrium; lymphomas; and certain leukemias.

Absorption
Oral prednisolone reaches a Cmax of 113-1343ng/mL with a Tmax of 1.0-2.6 hours. Oral prednisolone is approximately 70% bioavailable.
Route of Elimination
Prednisolone is over 98% eliminated in urine.
Volume of Distribution
A 0.15mg/kg dose of prednisolone has a volume of distribution of 29.3L, while a 0.30mg/kg dose has a volume of distribution of 44.2L.
Clearance
A 0.15mg/kg dose of prednisolone has a clearance of 0.09L/kg/h, while a 0.30mg/kg dose has a clearance of 0.12L/kg/h.
A randomized crossover study was conducted to compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 30 mg prednisolone in a plain oral tablet (Precortisyl) with those of an enteric coated tablet (Deltacortril) in 8 patients (ages 63-81 yr) with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and in 8 healthy males (ages 22-44 yr). Although drug absorption was considerably slower from the enteric coated tablet, peak plasma levels and total area under the concn-time curve were equivalent for the formulations. Adrenal suppression was significantly less in volunteers after enteric coated than after plain tablets. This difference was not significant in patients. Plasma cortisol levels declined more slowly after enteric coated tablets in both groups. Blood glucose levels increased over 8 hr in both groups. It was concluded that in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, peak plasma levels and total area under the concn-time curve of plain and enteric coated prednisolone tablets are equivalent; enteric coated tablets result in a lag in the decline of plasma cortisol and, in volunteers, a less marked suppression of cortisol.

The transfer of prednisolone to breast milk was studied in 3 nursing women (ages 28-37 yr) who received an intravenous injection of 50 mg prednisolone sodium phosphate (Hydeltrasol). Concn of prednisolone in milk declined more rapidly than in serum, but were similar to expected unbound serum levels. Milk levels ranged from about 15% to 40% of serum levels. The exchange between unbound drug in serum and breast milk appeared to be relatively rapid and bidirectional. An average of 0.025% (0.01-0.49%) of the prednisolone dose was recovered in milk. It was concluded that the transfer of prednisolone to breast milk does not appear to pose a clinically significant risk.

The pharmacokinetics of prednisolone after oral and intravenous administration of 10 and 20 mg have been studied. Serum protein binding of prednisolone was also measured after the iv injections. The bioavailability after oral administration was 84.5% after 10 mg and 77.6% after 20 mg (p>0.05). Dose dependent pharmacokinetics were found, the VDss and Clt being significantly larger (p<0.01) after 20 mg iv than after 10 mg iv. The protein binding of prednisolone in all subjects was non-linear, and is the most likely cause of the dose dependent pharmacokinetics, as there was no dose dependent variation in elimination half-time.

Doses of 16, 32, 48 and 64 mg prednisolone were administered intravenously to normal volunteers who also received 100 prednisolone orally. Plasma prednisolone concentrations were estimated by quantitative thin layer chromatography. The bioavailability fraction was 1.063 +/- 0.154 (s.d.) indicating complete availability of prednisolone following oral administration. The mean T 1/2 over all doses were 4.11 +/- 0.97 (s.d.) hr and there was no evidence of a dose-related change in its value. The mean systemic clearance over all doses was 0.104 +/- 0.034 (s.d) L/hr/kg. There was no evidence of a dose-related change in clearance or in the apparent volume of distribution (overall mean 0.588 +/- 0.152 L/kg). The area under the plasma concentration-time curve was linearly related to dose. Plasma concentration-time curves normalised for dose were superimposable. It was concluded that over the dose range investigated, non-linear pharmacokinetic behavior had not been demonstrated in this group of normal volunteers.

Prednisolone can be reversibly metabolized to [prednisone] which is then metabolized to 17,21-dihydroxy-pregnan-1,4,6-trien-3,11,30-trione (M-XVII), 20-dihydro-prednisone (M-V), 6hydroxy-prednisone (M-XII), 6-hydroxy-prednisone (M-XIII), or 20-dihydro-prednisone (M-IV). 20-dihydro-prednisone is metabolized to 17,20,21-trihydroxy-5-pregn-1-en-3,11-dione(M-XVIII). Prednisolone is metabolized to 6-prednisolone (M-XI), 20-dihydro-prednisolone (M-III), 20-dihydro-prednisolone (M-II), 6hydroxy-prednisolone (M-VII), or 6hydroxy-prednisolone(M-VI). 6hydroxy-prednisolone is metabolized to 6,11,17,20,21-pentahydroxypregnan-1,4-diene-3-one (M-X). 6hydroxy-prednisolone is metabolized to 6,11,17,20,21-pentahydroxypregnan-1,4-diene-3-one (M-VIII), 6,11,17,20,21-pentahydroxypregnan-1,4-diene-3-one (M-IX), and 6,11,17,21-tetrahydroxy-5-pregn-1-en-3,20-dione (M-XIV). MVIII is metabolized to 6,11,17,20,21-pentahydroxy-5-pregn-1-en-3-one (M-XV) and then to MXIV, while MIX is metabolized to 6,11,17,20,21-pentahydroxy-5-pregn-1-en-3-one (M-XVI) and then to MXIV. These metabolites and their glucuronide conjugates are excreted predominantly in the urine.
Reduction of the 4,5 double bond can occur at both hepatic and extrahepatic sites and yields an inactive substance. Subsequent reduction of the 3-ketone substituent to a 3-hydroxyl to form tetrahydrocortisol has been demonstrated only in liver. Most of the ring a - reduced metabolites are enzymatically coupled through the 3-hydroxyl with sulfate or with glucuronic acid to form water soluble sulfate esters or glucuronides, and they are excreted as such.

In the present study the metabolism of prednisolone in the isolated, perfused, dual recirculating human placental lobule was reexamined, using a perfusate based on tissue culture medium 199. Four metabolites were identified in both the maternal and fetal compartments in 6 hr perfusions by comparison of relative retention times measured by HPLC and capillary GC and of mass spectra recorded by capillary GC/MS with those of authentic reference standards. The steroids were derivatized as the MO-TMS ethers for mass spectral measurements. Analysis of samples from five perfusion experiments resulted in the following percentage conversions after 6 hr perfusion (mean + or - standard deviation, maternal and fetal perfusate, respectively): prednisone (49.1 + or - 7.8, 49.1 + or - 6.6), 20 alpha-dihydroprednisone (0.84 + or - 0.29, 0.81 + or - 0.35), 20 beta-dihydroprednisone (39.1 + or - 6.7, 39.2 + or - 5.9), 20 beta-dihydroprednisolone (6.8 + or - 2.7, 6.3 + or - 1.6) and unmetabolized prednisolone (4.1 + or - 1.8, 4.6 + or - 2.1). No evidence was found for metabolites formed by 6 beta-hydroxylation or cleavage of the C17-C20 bond.

A randomized, four-way cross-over study was conducted in eight healthy male volunteers to determine the relative and absolute bioavailability of prednisone (PN) and prednisolone (PL). PN and PL were administered as single, oral 10-mg tablet doses and as 10-mg zero-order 0.5-hour intravenous infusions. Comparable mean PN and PL maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax), times for Cmax, areas under the plasma concentration-time curves (AUC), and apparent elimination rate constants between tablet treatments demonstrated that PN and PL tablets were bioequivalent. Absolute bioavailability (F) determinations based on plasma PL concentrations were independent of which IV treatment was used as reference and indicated complete systemic availability of PL from both PN and PL tablets. However, F based on plasma PN data was contradictory. Using IV PN as reference, approximately 70% systemic availability was observed from both tablets, whereas using IV PL as reference, systemic availability was greater than unity. PN and PL are model compounds that exemplify the difficulties involved in accurately determining the relative and absolute bioavailability of substances that undergo reversible metabolism.

Prednisone, prednisolone, and methylprednisolone are currently administered in association with cyclosporin A in the postoperative treatment of transplant patients. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of these corticosteroids on the expression of several forms of cytochromes p450, including p450 1A2, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A, and on cyclosporin A oxidase activity in human liver. For this purpose, human hepatocytes prepared from lobectomies were maintained in culture in a serum-free medium, in collagen-coated dishes, for 96-144 hr, in the absence or presence of 50-100 uM corticosteroids, rifampicin, or dexamethasone. To mimic more closely the current clinical protocol, hepatocyte cultures were also co-treated with corticosteroids and cyclosporin A or ketoconazole (a selective inhibitor of cytochromes p450 3A). Cyclosporin A oxidase activity, intracellular retention of cyclosporin A oxidized metabolites within hepatocytes, accumulation of cytochromes p450 proteins and corresponding messages, and de novo synthesis and half-lives of these cytochromes p450 were measured in parallel in these cultures. Our results, obtained from seven different hepatocyte cultures, showed that 1) dexamethasone and prednisone, but not prednisolone or methylprednisolone, were inducers of cytochrome p450 3A, at the level of protein and mRNA accumulation, as well as of cyclosporin A oxidase activity, known to be predominantly catalyzed by these cytochromes p450; 2) although corticosteroids are known to be metabolized in human liver, notably by cytochrome p450 3A, partial or total inhibition of this cytochromes p450 by cyclosporin or ketoconazole, respectively, did not affect the inducing efficiency of these molecules; 3) corticosteroids did not affect the half-life of cytochrome p450 3A or the accumulation of other forms of cytochromes p450, including 1A2, 2D6, and 2E1; 4) chronic treatment of cells with cyclosporin did not affect cytochrome p450 3A accumulation; 5) corticosteroids were all competitive inhibitors of cyclosporin A oxidase in human liver microsomes, with Ki values of 61 + or - 12, 125 + or - 25, 190 + or - 38, and 210 + or - 42 uM for dexamethasone, prednisolone, prednisone, and methylprednisolone, respectively; and 6) chronic treatment of cells with corticosteroids did not influence the excretion of oxidized metabolites of cyclosporin from the cells.

Prednisolone has a plasma half life of 2.1-3.5 hours. This half life is shorter in children and longer in those with liver disease.
...Prednisolone (60 mg/sq m/day in three divided doses) was administered both orally and intravenously /to 23 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (aged 2-15 years)/, and samples were obtained on several days during the initial 5 weeks of remission induction therapy. ...The median unbound clearance (32 L/hr/sq m) was lower, and the half-life (3.6 hr) longer than previously reported in childhood ALL.

The short term effects of corticosteroids are decreased vasodilation and permeability of capillaries, as well as decreased leukocyte migration to sites of inflammation. Corticosteroids binding to the glucocorticoid receptor mediates changes in gene expression that lead to multiple downstream effects over hours to days. Glucocorticoids inhibit neutrophil apoptosis and demargination; they inhibit phospholipase A2, which decreases the formation of arachidonic acid derivatives; they inhibit NF-Kappa B and other inflammatory transcription factors; they promote anti-inflammatory genes like interleukin-10. Lower doses of corticosteroids provide an anti-inflammatory effect, while higher doses are immunosuppressive. High doses of glucocorticoids for an extended period bind to the mineralocorticoid receptor, raising sodium levels and decreasing potassium levels.
Although altered homeostatic regulation, including disturbance of 24-h rhythms, is often observed in the patients undergoing glucocorticoid therapy, the mechanisms underlying the disturbance remains poorly understood. We report here that chronic treatment with a synthetic glucocorticoid, prednisolone, can cause alteration of circadian clock function at molecular level. Treatment of cultured hepatic cells (HepG2) with prednisolone induced expression of Period1 (Per1), and the prednisolone treatment also attenuated the serum-induced oscillations in the expression of Period2 (Per2), Rev-erbalpha, and Bmal1 mRNA in HepG2 cells. Because the attenuation of clock gene oscillations was blocked by pretreating the cells with a Per1 antisense phosphothioate oligodeoxynucleotide, the extensive expression of Per1 induced by prednisolone may have resulted in the reduced amplitude of other clock gene oscillations. Continuous administration of prednisolone into mice constitutively increased the Per1 mRNA levels in liver and skeletal muscle, which seems to attenuate the oscillation in the expressions of Per2, Rev-erbalpha, and Bmal1. However, a single daily administration of prednisolone at the time of day corresponding to acrophase of endogenous glucocorticoid levels had little effect on the rhythmic expression of clock genes. These results suggest a possible pharmacological action by prednisolone on the core circadian oscillation mechanism and indicate the possibility that the alteration of clock function induced by prednisolone can be avoided by optimizing the dosing schedule.

Glucocorticoids are capable of suppressing the inflammatory process through numerous pathways. They interact with specific intracellular receptor proteins in target tissues to alter the expression of corticosteroid-responsive genes. Glucocorticoid-specific receptors in the cell cytoplasm bind with steroid ligands to form hormone-receptor complexes that eventually translocate to the cell nucleus. There these complexes bind to specific DNA sequences and alter their expression. The complexes may induce the transcription of mRNA leading to synthesis of new proteins. Such proteins include lipocortin, a protein known to inhibit PLA2a and thereby block the synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and PAF. Glucocorticoids also inhibit the production of other mediators including AA metabolites such as COX, cytokines, the interleukins, adhesion molecules, and enzymes such as collagenase. /Glucocorticoids/
