isoflupredone

Isoflupredone is a synthetic corticosteroid used primarily in veterinary medicine for its potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It acts as an agonist at both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors, modulating gene transcription and protein synthesis to reduce inflammation and immune responses. Isoflupredone is commonly administered as the acetate ester (isoflupredone acetate) via injectable or topical formulations, with FDA approval for use in horses, cattle, and pigs. Indications include treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, allergic reactions, recurrent airway obstruction (heaves), ketosis in cattle, shock, hypersensitivity reactions, infections with severe toxicity, and other inflammatory diseases. The drug exhibits both disease-modifying and symptom-modifying effects but requires careful use due to risks such as delayed wound healing or hypokalemia[4][5][7][8].
