Fluocinolone acetonide is a fluorinated corticosteroid primarily used in dermatology to reduce skin inflammation and relieve itching.[2] It is a synthetic hydrocortisone derivative. The fluorine substitution at position 9 in the steroid nucleus greatly enhances its activity. It was first synthesized in 1959 in the Research Department of Syntex Laboratories S.A. Mexico City.[3] Preparations containing it were first marketed under the brand name Synalar.

Fluocinolone acetonide was also found to strongly potentiate TGF-β-associated chondrogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells, by increasing the levels of collagen type II by more than 100 fold compared to the widely used dexamethasone.[4]

Fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implants have been used to treat non-infectious uveitis. A systematic review could not determine with any confidence whether fluocinolone acetonide implants are superior to standard of care treatment for uveitis.[5] A fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant with the brand name Iluvien is sold by biopharmaceutical company Alimera Sciences to treat diabetic macular edema.[6]

It was approved for medical use in 1961.[7]

Classification

[edit]

Fluocinolone is a group V (0.025%) or group VI (0.01%) corticosteroid under US classification.

Brand names

[edit]

Fluocinolone acetonide is available under the brand names Flucort-N, Iluvien, Synalar, Yutiq,[8] and others.[2][9]
