4.2 Drug Indication

Clobetasol propionate is indicated to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis as well as inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses.


FDA Label


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Corticosteroids bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, inhibiting pro-inflammatory signals, and promoting anti-inflammatory signals. Clobetasol propionate is generally applied twice daily so the duration of action is long. Corticosteroids have a wide therapeutic window as patients may 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.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

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. (See all compounds classified as Glucocorticoids.)


5.3 FDA Pharmacological Classification
5.3.1 Pharmacological Classes
Corticosteroid [EPC]; Corticosteroid Hormone Receptor Agonists [MoA]
5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Twice daily application of clobetasol foam leads to a Cmax of 5936pg/mL with a Tmax of 5 hours. Clobetasol cream showed an increase in clobetasol concentrations from 50.796.0pg/mL to 56.3104.7pg/mL.


Route of Elimination

Corticosteroids are eliminated predominantly in the urine.


Volume of Distribution

Data regarding the volume of distribution of clobetasole propionate are not readily available.


Clearance

Data regarding the clearance of clobetasol propionate are not readily available.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

The metabolism of clobetasol propionate is not well studied but it does induce metabolic enzymes, even when delivered topically. The metabolism of clobetasol propionate is predicted to follow similar metabolic pathways to other corticosteroids including the addition of oxygen, hydrogen, glucuronides, and sulfates to form water soluble metabolites.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

Data regarding the half life of clobetasol propionate are not readily available.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

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.
